The Corporate Media is not the 4th Estate, nor does it favor Democrats
Edited on Mon Sep-08-08 05:10 PM by fascisthunter
it is controlled by wealthy interests, and is used as a median to advertise a corporate aganda to Americans. It has no objectivity nor is it informative, but instead a tool used by corporate America to misinform average Americans. The latest news regarding KO and Tweety, is another indication of how strongly the right wing's influence is on the media. Do you suppose a bunch of liberals could do the same thing to MSNBC and push back????

We hear the meme, "liberal media", but do you hear those in the media calling that out as a LIE? How's this for a reminder.... there is a corporate network soley promoting a corporate fascist agenda... it's called FOX news.....


but heyyyy.... having KO and Tweety together speaking unfavorably about Republicans on another network??!??!?!?!??!??!? "Oh my.... no, no, no...... we can't have that!"


Face it.... it's corporately controlled propaganda and until it's regulated to a higher standard, you will see Democratic Presedential candidates, especially populist Democrats being unfairly painted as a bogeyman, while Republicans like Reagan(pro-corporate) being exhaulted to celebrity-type status...

3. No shit.
Even MSNBC, the supposed "liberal" outlet, gave McCain a pass on everything.

4. This is the truth we've avoided since the take-over began.
They have a few billionaires that have been pouring money into getting their message out and buy up all information sources. Frequently these men have lost millions for years and years but continue because they know this is how to control Amerikans.

We, OTOH, have no corresponding advocates, our billionaires want return on their investments and are not prepared to follow through for longer than a year or two at most.

Their media network works in concert, one source makes shit up and al the other sources repeat it as fact, citing the other operations as sources. The easiest example to demonstrate this is the Mellon-Scaife - Murdock - Moon loop.

Please don't forget when and who finalized the neccessary pieces of legislation to make this possible. This is not about Republik - Democrat, it is all about the parasites vs. us.

5. "This is not about Republik - Democrat, it is all about the parasites vs. us."
no... but mostly it is. You are correct, because we know this so-called money party spans across the aisle... it made it easier for Lieberman to begin political transition.

6. The Corporate Party has both Republik and Democratic wings. Until we address this,
like the other unmentioned elephant, election fraud, nothing will ever get better for us.
