I'm off the net for a few weeks and all hell breaks loose in the election thanks to the GOP. I'll help out where I can.

1. no
they're the clear channel equivalnt of local tv, though. their v-p, rightwing commentator mark hyman, is trying to do for the local news what the gop did for talk radio-turn it into a one-sided forum for the fringe right

2. They are the biggest station owners, reach 1 in 4 households.
I think Clear channel is either the first or second in radio.

Cumulus, another company, may have more stations than Clear Channel, they are the ones that started and perpetuated the Dixie Chicks crucifiction.

3. Nine out of ten media revolutionarys agree ...
The corporate numbnuts now own the airwaves and they use it as they please. Their news is propaganda in drag and in one way or another we PAY for it, no less.

If you watch and trust, you are dooming your own freedom and Democracy. Need proof? Compare what they say with what you know and see. Check other sources and compare them to the media filters that are so obvious.

One of the greatest and most positive gifts of this election is that it is opening our eyes to the manipulative use of psychological propaganda and its range and extent. We now have to evolve and adapt in an evolutionary way if we value our individualism and freedoms at all.

Otherwise we, and our children, and their children, will be singing the Borg Anthem: Resistance is futile! You MUST comply!
