Free Speech TV — The Last Bastion Of Hope For Progressive Media



In 2005, Aaron Brown was fired from CNN not because his ratings were poor, but because he was one of the few journalists alive during that time who actually had enough courage to criticize our Iraq invasion.

Brown was replaced with lockstep talking heads who were too lightweight and intimidated to analyze facts and conclude the obvious. News media had become a part of the war propaganda machine that promoted war frenzy rather than objective discussion. They didn’t ask questions, instead they delivered pre-packaged, soma-drenched, dullard brain lies on behalf of the Pentagon.

Wasn't it the fucking Telecommunications Act that allowed this horrible media consolidation?

For some reason the compromised media won't acknowledge that they have compromised.

I am clear done with ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NPR and I have never been a victim of the circus that is Fox. I will watch select programming on these stations when it is unavoidable, like football. But I will not allow them to deliver a single lie to my ears.

I consider MSNBC and NPR to be the very worst because they have pretended to have a liberal slant all these years when in reality they have done nothing but pull the wool over the eyes of millions of viewers.

Don't watch this shit!
