said something interesting in an interview...something about a big time network that is neither liberal or conservative, rep. or dem, left or right...simply one that honestly reports the news.
Blogs and community access are fine..but it seems to be in a sense still preaching to the choir.
there are alot of goodhearted people out there who just believe what they see on TV. I saw them crying in the lobby after they saw F9/11. "I just didn't know"...I never saw that on TV."
They are trapped in a belief system."It's bad to be a queer, killing babies is bad, there's the good guys and the bad guys and we are the good guys and we need guns to protect us against the bad guys". Changing these beliefs is part of the task at hand.
Frankly i do believe that Fox news has implanted "subliminal messages" and that the vast public has been effectively "brainwashed". I have no particular solution...it will take alot of careful thought by better minds than mine.
