When You Dont Have Freedom Of The Press, You Dont Have Freedom

[kelligesq]

The press and media, known locally as Main Stream Media or MSM now chooses who our candidates will be in our "free elections". How? They serve up THEIR favorites as ordered by their corporate ownership for our viewing consumption and ignore any other candidates, essentially blockading information, message , and appearances. These are the same people who were cheerleaders for an irrational and unprovoked attack on a sovereign country, Iraq. Only when they
finally realized the public was getting mad as hell, did they stop cheerleading
this war.

We aren't getting news, we're being fed propaganda and censored filtered news by
five massive corporations who own all the radio, newspapers, magazines and tv outlets and are also involved in manufacturing armaments for the wars.

What are you going to do about it?
I'm sorry, didn't you hear me?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT ?

1. Bravo

Like many, I wanted John Edwards to be my President and I have suspected that he was essentially shut out of the race by big media.

What is the source of the data on this chart?

2. Long article online in GD-P by McCamy Taylor, also statistics and some graphs

in article on Daily Kos. Much more graphs and measurements there. Detailed instances of suppression ignoring of news. Not just Edwards of course, also other candidates on both sides.

8. Don't expect the arsonists to put out the fire. As Bob Parry says, we need a new media.

Parry has been calling for progressives to fund a media organization equal to that of the GOP noise machine. That's our only hope, because the corrupt MSM sure isn't going to clean up itself.

they'll get the message

16. After what MSM has done to John Edwards, the logical thing for

him to do IS to start a liberal cable news station.
