Reply #5: We can manipulate the press. [View All]

[mestup]

We've all bought into the tired meme that the press does the bidding of its corporate masters. But what do the corporate masters want? Consumerism! That's all. The more we mass-email news programs and anchors with approval for their news coverage, the more the corporate owners will take note.

Look at the recent rising star of Anderson Cooper. Viewer feedback during his brutally honest Katrina coverage propelled him to a co-anchor spot with the very settled Aaron Brown.

We have the power to manipulate the corporate media. We just don't use it enough.
