The media are destroying America, and it's affecting us all
Who would have ever thought America could be destroyed by the media.
Our soldiers are fighting and dying to protect our freedom and the media here at home is destroying it.

1. Like Rome with Circuses. It keeps people entertained but not
informed.

5. The Media are the ones who sent the troops
to Iraq. BushCo could have not done it alone.

"The Media" are indeed evil.

6. Attacking the media?
Edited on Sat Oct-16-04 11:51 PM by BeFree
If you want to change the media, resolve to get in on the Sinclair campaign DU is running.

The only way we can effect the media is to cut off it's lifeblood: the money from advertisers.

If we all began to call those companies who support Sinclair, we will have Sinclair begging for a reprieve in short order.

Once we bring Sinclair to it's knees, we go after another media whore.
