Reply #48: What do I think?

"This tells me that the media is doing a good job."

I think that is one of the most ridiculous statements I have read in a long time.

I do not want "balanced" reporting, nor do I base my judgment of the television news media on what "freepers" and other assorted right wing scum "think" about it. I want factual and accurate information with regard to world events and nothing more. Cable television clearly does not provide this as anyone who uses the internet as a source of information should know.

The television media's purpose is to promote a world view that is conducive to consumerism and the accumulation of profits by the corporations that own them, including military contractors like Westinghouse, General Electric and Microsoft. The profits of these companies and many others have increased dramatically since the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq and will continue to increase even further with the planned attacks against Iran, hence the obvious warmongering.

May I respectfully suggest less "chat" and more reading?
