If we had a Liberal Media IWHALM 8/3/09
Edited on Mon Aug-03-09 12:26 PM by sfwriter
If we actually had a LIBERAL media, what would the news look like this week?

Our press would be full of horror stories and cries of bias that so many Americans are being swept up in Immigration raids. When Living While Latino is a crime, no one is safe.

There would be expose after expose on the ANTI WORKER businesses in your neighborhoods like Target and Office Depot that want to extract your dollars and give back as little as possible. Anti-union propaganda would be highlighted and countered, setting the facts straight for potential union workers.

You wouldn't find this in the Charlottesville, VA Daily Progress. Someone is forging political letters to congress. That kind of Rovian nonsense would be front page news across America if we had a Liberal Media.

Growing evidence of general lawlessness by the Bush White House would eb consolidated into a single scathing attack in Op Ed pieces. Just how out of control where they? Political attacks and firings at Justice, VP death squads, and what else?

Finally, a successful program called "Cash for Clunkers" delivers $1.8 billion in gas savings to Americans over the next decade, reduces our dependence on foreign oil, boosts sales of ailing auto companies, stimulates the economy, increases the overall fuel efficiency of America's automobiles, and provides a direct cash boost to teh middle class ina time of hardship. So of course the GOP wants it dead.

1. what if we had non corporate media
not saying i want a government ran one, but it seems to me companies that build bombs and benefit from war and such should not be the Providers of news and information to the public and be trusted to be non bias.
