MAINSTREAM MEDIA GO TO HELL!
I would like to hear what the other leaders in the world have to say. But NO! I only get to hear what Bush has to say! You are showing the other leader's pictures but NO VOLUME! FUCK YOU! Censorship BASTARDS! Freedom of the press is a LIE! You are SELF CENSORING EVERYTHING! Get off of my TV! Get out of my life. Get out of my country. Fascist bastards!

1. Why do people keep calling it "mainstream"??? I call it as I see it, corporate news outlets.
Or simply the short-hand corporate news.

8. That Implies that All Corporations are Repiglickin', Which Is Not the Case
If it were merely "Corporate", it would reflect a wider range of views than it does.

18. A British friend of mine simply calls it "dreck"
She was appalled by the lack of substance and ethnocentricism.

My reply was : "didn't I tell you so?"

24. In that case, Kucinich definitely ISN'T "mainstream." And that's a good thing.
Some of the other candidates are though...

26. Kucinich stands for the people not for the corporations, too bad...
the people cant recognize it because then we would have real change in Washington. If money continues to elect presidents, we will never win back our country, Dennis Kucinich gets my vote for that reason. He is my hope of the people getting the country back before its too late.

4. indeed
If the msm gave the real news to the people of this country, there's no way even sheeple would have let it get this far down the toilet. It's obvious the majority dem congress slugs are either scared or in on it. The people are our chance for change and the msm have kept the truth from them...yikes!!

must be cynical tuesday

14. That's the norm
that's why they don't want anyone else to come here and speak - all lies will be exposed.

Try BBC they cover most of them and so does UNWeb.

20. The powers that be got away with murdering JFK- our President!!
That is huge(of course) and the only way they got away with it is the complicity of the corporate news.

It has only gotten 100% worse since then.

21. V from V for Vendetta had the right idea.
One of his first attacks (after blowing up the Old Bailey) was to hijack the TV station, activate the emergency broadcast system, and make his speech.

Maybe that should be the first act of the revolution - hijack Fox News and broadcast the truth until the stormtroopers take it off the air.
