Vilest people in US corporate-controlled media
From Pravda.ru:

The launch of the English-language version of Al-Jazeera Television in the United States was met with glee by America ’s corporate-controlled media. At first this reaction seemed curious, particularly since another English-language news channel would also mean another option for viewers in the highly competitive “information” industry.

ut soon the source of this glee became evident: No cable or satellite television service in the United States is carrying Al-Jazeera. Although America’s corporate-controlled media attribute this to the reluctance of Americans to view what many believe is propaganda disguised as news, these same media have adroitly concealed the fact that the so-called “news” Americans are bombarded with on a daily basis is little more than propaganda as well. So I present to PRAVDA.Ru readers THE VILEST PEOPLE OR ENTITIES IN AMERICA’S CORPORATE-CONTROLLED MEDIA.

Although limiting this list was extremely difficult, given the surfeit of slime currently masquerading as “journalists” and “pundits,” the need for brevity ultimately won the day.

1. I've only gotten to number
three which is limpbaugh..pretty good so far.

"The same could be said of Rush Limbaugh. Although one could argue that his ignorant rants and inane observations are a parody, far too many people take him seriously.

In addition to this, Limbaugh is a shameless hypocrite. He once was quoted as saying, “Never, ever trust a draft dodger”—sentiments that, at least in his world, apparently don’t apply to George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, or to him."


But, why do we have to keep looking at the picture of nancy sneer grace?

3. Not to disagree with much of what is said
However, it seems a bit strange getting a lecture about the state of American broadcast journalism from Pravda.
