DU ALERT: We need to protect a great source for analysis and information

One of our best - Robert Parry. If we lose him, we can all call it quits, because it will truly be TOO LATE.

1. Read This Part:

"As the Right has built up a vertically integrated media infrastructure that stretches from newspapers, magazines and books to talk radio, cable news and well-funded Internet sites, wealthy liberals mostly have sat on their hands. Even now, as the Right expands that infrastructure horizontally down to state, district and local levels � with ominous portents for Election 2006 � well-heeled liberals remain mostly passive."

2. This is EXACTLY why I was sounding the alarm about the KnightRidder buyout

Edited on Sat Jun-17-06 10:24 AM by blm

and BLAMING Dem investor groups. How MANY Dems from Clinton's term were brought into these big investor groups to act as advisors and how many have FAILED US by not emphasizing media buys?

GOP ACTIVISTS just bought the two biggest papers in Esatern half of Pennsylvania - - ACTIVIST GOP's, fer chrissakes. THAT is how the GOP intends to steal Pennsylvania's electoral votes to protect their power in 2008.

emotions through a keyboard. I want us to productively think of ways to win this fall. I am trying to stay optimistic about this fall's elections.

3. Thanks, blm. This'd be a very scary place without ConsortiumNews.

Cockroaches like Bush hate the light.

8. For you two, I'd do anything...

...same for ConsortiumNews.com.

The BFEE's biggest fear is being held accountable for their criminality and treason.

Our only weapon in this fight against the mad monkey and his horde is The Truth.

WORST ~~EVER~~
YET

21. They hate the Truth. Moyers is so right (left) on that point. Monkeys,

while I generally love the critters, I love them as critters, and B* is supposedly human, not animal. B* has given a whole new meaning to the word monkey (along with the words Christianity, Freedom, Democracy, Liberty, Equality, Peace, Dignity, etc.). I love this quote as it applies so well to B*:

"An example from the monkey: The higher it climbs, the more you see of its behind."

14. Enron reporting - this article is how I first ran across Consortium News

http://www.consortiumnews.com/2002/052902a.html

All seems pretty well known, now. Very groundbreaking at the time.

17. Election fraud EXISTS because the corporate media protects the GOP's part

Edited on Sat Jun-17-06 03:55 PM by blm

in the overt actions and their secretive role behind the machines by ignoring it as an issue altogether.
