Reply #1: I question everything the corporate media reports these days.

They just cannot be trusted.

How many times have there been examples of the corporate media completely ignoring an event that would prove embarrassing to the GOP?

The Downing Street Memo, for example, was reported widely in other countries, but very little has been said about it here. And the information it contained was very damning to Bush.

When you have one corporation providing things to the military under contract, which is very lucrative, and they also own a broadcast network or cable network, do we really expect that they are going to report on things that might endanger those profitable military contracts? No way.

And they are under no obligation to report the news honestly, completely, or advise of other view points. So...they do as they please.

So when the corporate media goes all GAGA over a candidate, I ask myself what's in it for them? What is this person going to do for them if they are elected? Then you follow the money, and it's easy to see the corporate media is once again manipulating the public.

They've been doing it for so long, and are now so good at it, most people don't even realize they've been had. It's really all very pathetic. :(
