22. The corporate media lied over and over to support this, lied in every way possible to help Bush

None of this was possible without the corrupt corporate media using our public airwaves to lie to us.


The same people that think the media is liberal, believe all the bullshit that the media was spewing...

Why would the liberal media cover up that the Niger uranium story was based on a forgery, not just any forgery but it seemed like it was done by a 5th grader. The UN laughed when they saw it and discredited it with a 5 minute google search. They hadn't even used the right letterhead. No, the media just kept repeating it like it was fact. Why hadn't the media done any research? Because they are being paid by the government and corporations to manufacture consent.

And the other BS, UAV's that were gonna get us, Saddam was bringing a suitcase nuke to a backyard near you...all propaganda perpetuated by the media.

The media is taking in quite a bit of money to lie to us, when will people take back our public airwaves? They are directly responsible for all that is bad in this country right now. A Democracy cannot exist without a free press.
