14. That is the part of the case that bothers me as well.

The judge decided the jury awarded too much money and ordered a reduction. I wonder how much he would value his own bits & pieces if they had to be cut off?

I am really bothered by how much control corporations have over our media due too their advertising money. None of the media outlets reported the case fairly. They left the impression that it was a BS case because of how much money Mickey D's spends in ad dollars.

I watched the media put a blackout on BP oil spill victim stories and pump up BP due to the large amounts of money they spent on ads after the spill. Our country has a lot of serious problems that can only be addressed by Americans uniting to insist on truth in our media and a separation of the business side of the outlets from the content side.

Walter Cronkite we really miss you!
