Reply #31: I've been in a slight state of shock the last few weeks... [View All]

as I've discussed this same subject here at DU, realizing that many DUers don't SEE the corporatocracy and the subsequent control over...everything. Including our media.

This isn't about John Edwards and the others not getting coverage. That's only part of it.

I keep trying to get the Obama and Hillary supporters to wake up to the realization that the media is also manipulating the storyline for YOUR candidates.

If it goes the way you want, you're thrilled; if not, you're pissed.

Don't people see the big picture here? That there is a storyline in place from the beginning and it's a coordinated effort to continue that storyline throughout? Aren't those of you not focused on this fundamental issue concerned that the media (Corporate America), for whatever reason, will try to take down your candidate? It's very easy to do...we've seen it happen many times over the years.

Or are you comforted by the fact that, because your candidate(s) aren't speaking out loudly about this issue, that they are "safe"? Do you silently believe this is a huge threat and hope that, even if your candidate isn't speaking out about it now - because you know he/she can't without being targeted beyond the "catfight" scenario at present - he/she will develop a huge backbone once in office and clean out the corrupt influences?

Or do you really, really, really not see this influence in our every day lives and how we are far from having a democracy or a free press?
