The media here in the USA is nothing more than a propaganda organ for corporate America.
Can’t everyone see this by now? I see it as clear as day. Corporate America owns the media. The media controls the message. Corporate America uses their media to control us, the American public. We just think that we are voting and choosing candidates and selecting our presidents. It’s one hell of an illusion and will continue to work until ‘WE THE PEOPLE’, see through it once in for all.

And I will make another statement. Have you ever wondered why our media always sinks democrats? They have been doing this for a long time now. And the msm always seems to give the Republicans a break. Sure, they will report on Mitt Romney’s initial untruths about his hunting, but they won’t hound him on it like they would a Democrat. Believe me, if Mitt is nominated, this story will be long gone before election day. If it was a Democrat, the media would crucify him.

Case in point, just look at they way the media hounded Gore (over and over again about how he created the internet) and Kerry (swift boated his ass).

Well to answer my own question, the Democrats, for the most part, seem to be for or against exactly what corporations want. Corporate America does not think long term. They want fricken profit and they want it yesterday, regardless of what it does to this country. In other words, straight up unembarrassed greed. It is not in corporate America’s interest to end this war right now. Unbelievable amounts of money to be made here. It is also not in corporate America’s interest to have universal health care.

Whatever Democrat gets nominated, he/she will be, at some level, against the Iraq War and for Universal Health care. Corporate America can’t have that folks and you can bet your bottom dollar that whoever the democratic nominee is, the corporate main stream media will go after them like a pit bull.

Believe me now or believe me later, but I know your going to believe me. Just look at the past to see the sh!t they are gonna pull in the future. And the sad thing is that through non-reporting, misinformation, misdirection, obfuscation and outright lying they will probably get away with it.

I was having a discussion with my daughter yesterday telling her that I did not like the way she was talking to me. She said, ‘Yeah, but what about the way Sissy talks to you’. Before I knew it, I was arguing about sissy. This is the type of tricks our media plays on us. Can’t you all see it for what it is?

I don’t know what the answers are, but I can tell you one thing, if your looking for truth and honesty in our media, good luck with that.
