Can anyone explain why the media didn't jump on the lies Bush told during the last debate? Or the misatkes he made during the last debate? Or his health issue?
I mean we can say they are biased (and I'm not arguing they aren't) -- but what is their public justification? How do they explain acting as if the Cheney's daughter was THE story? And basically just dropping everything else?

1. THIS explains everything. |
|
"I look at the election from what's good for Viacom. I vote for what's good for Viacom. I vote, today, Viacom. I don't want to denigrate Kerry, but from a Viacom standpoint, the election of a Republican administration is a better deal. Because the Republican administration has stood for many things we believe in, deregulation and so on. The Democrats are not bad people. . . . But from a Viacom standpoint, we believe the election of a Republican administration is better for our company."
That's Sumner Redstone, a self-described "liberal Democrat," who knows which side his bread gets buttered.

3. They are all members and participants |
|
in the corporate over-class.
They don't have to justify their traitorous behavior, because who is going to inform the population otherwise?

6. Fortunately, the corporate media is becoming more irrelevant |
|
every day.
More and more people are getting their information on the Internet. Information is flying around faster than speeding bullets, while the talking airheads are still fixated on Lacy and Michael.
