Tonight's UNBELIEVABLE MSM schedule |
|
MSNBC -- "Signs of the Divine" (8 - 9) CNBC -- A 2 hour show about Walmart (8 - 10) CNN -- About the possibility of a homeland nuclear attack (8 - 9) FOX -- War Stories with Ollie North (8 - 9)
Are you kidding me? Seriously, it's almost laughable if it wasn't so very, very disturbing. Thankfully, the Simpsons are on and I don't watch any of those channels anyway.

3. Like I said, I don't ever watch those channels |
|
But was flipping through the cable guide menu and those 4 channels are back to back and I was floored.
Just wanted to share.

|
Telling them why and mentioning that you're going to avoid their products- and that you know dozens of others who are doing the rxact same thing....

11. Thank god for the CBC |
|
=) Although, CBC reported the lack of WMD's, lack of terrorist links etc before the war started and now they seem a little bored with the topic.

12. AMurca's MSM no long matters to me |
|
I have a BBC connection. If they are having a Bullshit day, I simply do not watch T.V. Better to avoid pursuasion than being pursuaded.

13. Please refer to it as corporate media, not mainstream media |
|
To most people, being "mainstream" is a good thing. Also, it's the money-driven corporate ownership which corrupts the media, not it's establishment statuts. (Except for Fox News which really is designed as a pure right-wing propaganda operation from top to bottom)

16. Which again is why I have shunned cable news since 1994. |
|
It just gets worse and worse and worse. Turn your back on it, seriously.
