(65,079 posts)mass brain washing and no institution is more culpable in dividing and deceiving the American People than today's corporate media.
George Bush's "Texas act" wouldn't have worked without the group acquiescence of the corporate media along with that, while camouflaging his vast short comings for the most powerful job in the land.
Al Gore not truly being from or of Tennessee, but only being the product of a D.C. upbringing and the ridiculous mass perception that he actually claimed to have invented the Internet wouldn't have flown without the active participation of the so called "fourth estate" in brainwashing the American People with institutional wide, continuous slander, libel and that was only one ongoing, 24/7 lie out of multitudes promoted by them.
How much integrity did it take for the corporate media to actually give Gore credit for his revolutionary, legislative achievements instead of trashing him over it? Apparently too much.
As my post #85 points out, the U.S corporate media is totally headquartered in the North, the Lion's share being in New York with Pennsylvania and California also having a piece.
Ultimately that's where the decisions are made on how to present "reality" to the American People. You can promote the people's dreams and hopes, be an honest broker of information or you can manipulate the people magnifying their fears and prejudices.
The U.S. corporate media most assuredly took the low road, it's not the first time and it wasn't the last, but it was done in institutional wide concert and that's reality.
