Exactly. Rather was prompting her and using those oh, so soothing tones with her. CBS and Rather's antiwar agenda has been apparent for years, but we have not been able to fight back against the strangle hold the MSM have had on news and information before talk radio, Free Republic, FOX, and Al Gore's invention:the Internet.

The MSM agenda driven news reports are now facing the Founders concept of the voice of the people.

CBS - Can't BS anymore!

The MSM agenda driven news reports are now facing the Founders concept of the voice of the people.

When the nation was founded, the population was small enough that a politician could speak to every voter in their state by traveling around the state. As the nation grew, mass media became necessary for politicians to get their message to the voters. This gave the mass media extrodinairy power that they have abused over the years. The new media has blunted that power by giving alternative ways to counter the monopoly on information the MSM once held. Also the voice of individuals can now be heard through the internet. We are living through historically significant times.
