A message from the media. |
|
In order to convince you that the Iraqi Study Group was the only solution to the "Iraq Problem", we had to briefly cover Iraq and admit it was a "problem". We deeply apologize for disturbing your slumber.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled program of providing absurd amounts of coverage to the run-of-the-mill human tragedies.

2. The Corporate Media Likes Sizzle... |
|
Now what looks better on your TV...a book report by a bunch of old politicians or Chinook Helicopters with guys going up and down the tow ropes? What gets more eyes looking...another report about some bomb blast on the other side of the world by a bunch of A-rabs against other A-rabs (and no video...or we WOULD see it) or shots of Brittany without panties? The dumbing down of the corporate media is desperate for "the numbers"...they all but beg for scandals or tragedy to draw a truly "bi-partisan" sheeple.

3. That's why the I-net has just surpassed the corporate media |
|
as the No. 1 source of news for Americans.
People are sick of the crap the corporate media blowhards shove out the door.
We want real news. We want the truth.
We realize we will not get it fromt the corporate media.
