Those of you enjoying and participating in the character assassination of your DEM rival...
What's it like being a stooge for the corporate media?

If we don't pull our shit together now - nominee or no - we're toast in November and deserve to be. The media will continue to shape public opinion, instead of reflecting it. They can make people believe whatever they want. They can discredit Nobel winners and lionize known criminals. They have for years, and even those who are hip to the game when it works against their interests seem to be willing participants when it works in their favor. We've all been victims of this one time or another. We need to wise up, or we'll never have control. The truth won't even help. We'll always be at the mercy of a larger agenda and all we can do is hope the wind blows in our direction from time to time.

1. I wish the corporate media would repeat my concerns for the ongoing protection of BushInc by those
closed government Democrats who have controlled our party for far too long.

I WISH the corporate media would air my concerns for those Democrats who have protected the secrecy and privilege of the Bushes and their powerful elite cronies for decades.

I WISH the corporate media would highlight that there is a growing movement behind the open government wing of the Democratic party.

4. And this goes for both sides!
I'm leaning toward Obama, but the O-supporters trashing Clinton aren't doing us (or Obama) any favors either.

5. Yep. And I'm guilty, too.
played a few times without even realizing it. it's an easy trap to fall into when you want something.
