1. They do anything and everything to make Americans into their corporate slaves
by way of lies, political propaganda, the likes of which Hitler, Musolini and Lennin would have a hard on. And yet these very people, their viewership pretend to love America. What a bunch of money grubbing sociopaths... parasites.

6. Roger Ailes... A talent that went over to the dark side...
Edited on Thu Nov-20-08 09:07 PM by lib2DaBone
... an entire life of media know-how misused and mis-managed. Surely the gods that live in News Rooms and inhabit the spaces behind dusty old wire machines and news-pegs, ask how one individual could use his talent to further the dark reign of fascism and repression?

Money? Well yes, that's's always a given. But in Roger's case, there must be more. Something that would drive this man to become a TV Tokyo Rose.

As Mr. Ailes approaches the end of his time on earth, typewriters sit silent and news lovers cry. There are no more "20-20 news headlines" and there is no "film at eleven". I hope Mr Ailes will get to meet his maker and relect on his miserable life.
