- inactive, on 08/20/2008, -0/+6Wow, it took them this long to figure out that the Free press has long since died when Reagan took office and rescinded the the Fairness act for television broadcast. The newspapers have been slanted for the past century and a half. The belief in a free press only lives on the internet, where truth slips out occasionally when nobody is looking.

Here are a couple of quotes that may help clarify how things work here in the US:
Number 1:
There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.
(Source: Labor's Untold Story, by Richard O. Boyer and Herbert M. Morais, published by United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America, NY, 1955/1979.)
Number 2:
At a meeting of the world's wealthiest and most influential people in Baden-Baden, Germany, David Rockefeller gave the following speech:
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications, whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world, if we had been subjected to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
-Bilderbergers Meeting,-1991-
These should help clarify things a bit.

- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -0/+2The Fairness act is a farce. I probably hate Rush Windbag, Shawn Vanity and Bill O'Liely as much or more than you. However, forcing "fairness" is tyranny.
If you have an opposing view, you start an opposing station. The fact that these ***** make more revenue and garner more support will only get worse if they are made martyrs by federal fiat.
As you stated, the ONLY place to get a chance at truth is here on the web. That's why the PTB are working to put the brakes on it. I have Sirius radio and listen to Left, Indie and Patriot. All three have their share of salivating buffoons that cut people off in a second if they state an opposing viewpoint to the dictator holding the microphone. I figure it's their show and they can do what they want.
I don't want the government having even more control over the media than it already does.
The Fairness act is no different than the Patriot act. Give it a pretty label and the gullible plebes will buy into it. Read through it and you see the destruction of the Constitution with each line. The Constitution wasn't meant to make life easy, peachy and sweet. It was meant to keep the government out of our business and allow us to be free to choose. - girwen, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1"spin" is a word invented by the LIARS who have succeeded in making the mob think what they are doing is cute
