MEDIA WATCHERS - see and hear Walter Isaacson of CNN say

that the networks can't really afford to pay for investigative journalism.

Go Amy Goodman, Juan Gonzalez, Josh Marshall, Greg Palast, Jeremy Skahill, Mark Crispin Miller, and all the William Pitt's and all the mad cows! Keep up your investigations on shoe string budgets!

Tonight - Bill Moyers on PBS.

See a preview on Democracy Now.

When you get to the part about 'experts',
think AIPAC and AEI and our Military and all their partners in expertise - who now tell us what they want us to know with the 'authority' of a news network - it's implied and stated to a certain extent. Their breaking news is what they want the country to believe for their politics, profit, and control of us.

Those of us who have been watching our country follow over a credibility precipice know the truth - we KNOW who those experts are - members of AIPAC, AEI, Military, Fed Society, Heritage Foundation and all the other special expert foundations.

That means ? that the people who earned the journalism degrees get to finesse stories and gossip in their favorites bars and restaurants between appointements at hairdressers and 'curists'. And they get to meet with the government officials and the AIPAC, AEI experts to get the news. And we can see them in their meetings with their higher ups learning what the spin will be.

Think about how reasonable the fee must be for those guest expert appearances.

Then, think what the bills are that FOX runs up to fly a helicopter all over LA to catch a car chase. Think of the expense reports all those employees turned in for the never ending Aruba and Anna coverage - lots of air, hotel, meals, incidentals, and sun cream.

And they don't have the money for investigation?

Yes, go Amy, Josh and all you good investigators and analyzers. We can help each other figure out who can be trusted.

and all the equipment to cover Anna Nicole's death, and the circus that followed. How about sending people to Florida to cover the Terri Schavio circus....how about following the liar in chief around all over the country....who wants to see cheney spewing, they have money for that.

affordable real journalism becomes.
