8. Who are you trying to convince?
NBC, CBS, ABC CNN, they are all hopefully, profit making efforts...

That pretty much sums it up. Profits before the people - it's the battle cry of the grinning corporate slime running the show in this country - and we have to admit, they've got it down to a science with their stranglehold on media ownership. They make a profit from propagandizing the public - could it get any better?!

The sad thing is, the little guys doing the grunt work for them have been so indoctrinated, they can't see the behemoth that has engulfed them.

A few snappy words are sufficient when they harmonize with the conventional wisdom in a matter of seconds. It takes longer to intelligibly present a very different assessment of political realities. - Normon Solomon, "Noam Chomsky - Saying What the Media Doesn't Want Us to Hear"
