3. Since they've become mega-conglomerates
...you can't work with them anymore. Remember, our media were in the business of brainwashing the public into accepting a war... just as they brainwashed the public into accepting the 2000 election results so that FL could discard prior interpretation of voting regulations and allow overseas ballots that were not postmarked or nor on time; they told us that voters worried about whether the voting machines operated correctly and wrote-in the same candidate they had punched were over-voting (normally, over-voting is defined as a vote for more than one candidate running the same office). This "clear voter intent" was not good enough The USSC case was political, and widespread public knowledge of these points would probably have swayed at least one justice to the other side.

So they made this presidency to do their bidding.

What do we do with these bastards? I have a suggestion:




Least of all should we incessantly repeat everything they say; we're not just passing their links around and increasing their ad revenues, we're spreading all the more subtle assumptions that their "news" engenders. We don't need them, we don't need to watch them, we can get what we need online and in print from other parties; find an appealing way to spread this sentiment and we'll be off to the right start.
