1. They've lost all credibility with me.... If they lose 40-50% of viewers
maybe a message will finally hit home...?

6. They're owned & share stockholders with the militarial-industrial complex.

So don't hold your breathe that they'll get it fair and balanced anytime soon. If anything, this election--Bush's "mandate" that they're already trumpeting--will reinforce their notion that the baloney they call news is what the people need and want to hear.

Power hungry, money-grubbing bastards.

7. Their owners are still rolling around in their new piles of money.
They've empowered the fundamentalists and ridden them to another big victory. But they're losing their grip on the reigns pretty damn fast these days. You can hope they notice that before it's too late, and that their fear seeps through the media in the form of criticism of the government.

But I don't have alot of hope of that. Those types seem to wake up too late most of the time. Germany, Iran...
