How to rehab a media whore
The talking heads are all programmed to pave the way for the corporatists to have their way with this country. We despise the whores for laying down their journalistic duties to bow down before their corporate masters, and the fascistic elements of this administration.

We all wish that they would stand up for their right to do real journalism, to speak the truth, to actually just report facts without the corporate/Bush spin. Why can't they just do that?, we wonder rhetorically.

But they would of course be fired, loose their cushy perches, because their bosses and editors and CEOs are part of that corporate class. As much as we despise the presstitutes, they are the symptom, not the disease.

How can we set up a "safe haven" for people who actually want to be journalistically honest again? PBS has clearly been compromised severely, but something along those lines has to be put together by people of good faith. What is the outlet for the truth finally going to be? Could any of the hos now spewing on TV ever be rehabilitated to the point that they could join an organization with journalistic integrity again?
