‘Those in the mainstream media serve those that are providing them with paychecks’...isn’t that what employees are supposed to do?

Defiantly something I will save for future reference. Something I will ponder in the here and now.

I will say, on the last point, that is probably incorrect.

The fact is that the US has a broader definition than most countries as to when to count infant mortality, so it results in a higher rate of infant mortality noted and has an effect on the stats of life expectancy.

Such a good article, and then you have to ruin it with conspiracy theory nonsense like:

“Earthquakes are increasing”. No, they’re not. We’re still right on the average.

“Fluoride is a sedative/toxin” Technically, yes, but not in the concentrations being used in (some) water supplies.

“Cell phones cause cancer”. No, just no. Study after study has shown no correlation at all. The few studies that showed an increase in tumors have all been found to be poorly constructed, misinterpreted, or outright wrong.

Things like that will cause many to simply file your stuff right up there with infowars and rense, and thus be considered eminently dismissable.

This is just a start...In todays broadcast Limbaugh correctly pointed out that most voters simply reflect their choice of candidates from information given to them by the statist media...It’s time to hold them directly accountable for the mess we’re in in a very forcefull way....Picketing the tv stations and newspaper offices...badgering and exposing reporter and editors connections to the system

Investors are pulling money out of stocks at an alarming rate.

That actually is a very positive sign for stocks, historically speaking. The 'herd' almost always gets it wrong; the contrarian usually does well by rejecting what the masses are doing.

This is why we need a a conservative news broadcasting company that is privately owned by a conservative.

Most Americans believe the lie that the mainstream media is "fair and balanced" and is looking out for the interests of average Americans.

Stop right there for your answer to the whole media "problem". Doe-eyed naïveté in adults is culpable. I have slowly become more afraid of the American People than any politician, because the refusal to embrace Truth ensures a hardening of the heart (something only God can repair).

It doesn't matter who owns a news outlet. What matters is who runs the newsroom.

The people running newsrooms are invariably liberals.

The article started out well but degenerated in to a john birch society piece towards the end

>>The reality is that just 6 gigantic corporations collectively own most of the major mainstream media outlets in this country. Reporters are simply not going to be allowed to report stories that are severely damaging to those corporations or to the owners of those corporations.

Liberals have said this for years, actually. This segment of Robert Smigel’s “TV’s Funhouse” on “Saturday Night Live”
allegedly aired just once...turned out NBC was not pleased
that the “Schoolhouse Rock” spoof (complete with the same singer from that ABC kids’ feature) pointed out that companies like GE, which owned NBC, put out dangerous PCBs and the network was controlling news coverage in a bit of
“spin”. Lorne Michaels claimed the segment didn’t air again due to the fact that “it wasn’t funny”.

(The same show once employed Al Franken who doomed himself by a bit called “Limo for the Lame-o”, in which he mentioned
NBC’s sagging ratings and he wondered why prez Fred
Silverman got to have a limo despite this. Franken got fired for “biting the hand that fed him”...)
