Forget "MSM", forget "Corporate Media": Use the "P" word

[ariellyn]

PRIVATIZED Media.

The reality is, the airwaves that were supposed to be owned by the people of this country, have been bought and sold to the highest bidders.

Privatization has been the demise of many an undertaking. Just read Greg Palast's book, "The Best Democracy Money can Buy" to see how privatization worked overseas. Or look at what happened with energy privatization in Cal-EE-FOH-NEE-YA.

** is currently trying to privatize social security by floating the notion of an ownership society--but the crooks in power avoid using the P-Word, because they know privatization is a dirty word. It has grown to mean taking from the masses to enrich the few.

There should be some way to constitutionally challenge this theft since it's become all too apparent that criminal activity runs rampant without a watchdog media to represent the interests of the citizens.

So for now, at least call the media by the dirty name they want us to avoid. Maybe then people will see that it's not a liberal media or a conservative media that is the problem. Privatization is the problem.

ON EDIT: Don't hesitate to attach the P-word to voting either. Same principle applies.
