Funeral coverage - NOW do you believe Military Industrial Media Complex is |
|
the enemy we must TARGET?
The sooner we expose the corporate media and who really controls what the American people are told, the sooner we can start rolling back some of the damage BushInc has done to our nation.
We cannot bring back democracy in this country until we bring back democracy to the newsrooms.

1. It's an uphill fight in a country with no free press. |
|
I say no free press of course because of the conglomerates that now control the media and their incestuous relationship with those in power. If people want to protest something that has probably more chance of getting attention than the protests so far, I suggest those close to the studios of big broadcast media picket and block the entrances.

3. That could only happen with a huge congressional |
|
turnover. Catch 22 since the media influences elections.

7. We should make it a point that we have to use opportunities like |
|
the funeral services, because there are no other opportunities afforded us.

On the flip side, I'm still waiting to see how Al Gore's CurrentTV works out. http://www.current.tv
