Guest Ted Wakowski Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Excerpt from an article called What's Wrong With This Picture? by Mark Crispin Miller "...the news divisions of the media cartel appear to work against the public interest--and for their parent companies, their advertisers and the Bush Administration. The situation is completely un-American. It is the purpose of the press to help us run the state, and not the other way around. As citizens of a democracy, we have the right and obligation to be well aware of what is happening, both in "the homeland" and the wider world. Without such knowledge we cannot be both secure and free. We therefore must take steps to liberate the media from oligopoly, so as to make the government our own."

bodice_ripper Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 The movie ran through me The glamour subdue me The tabloid untie me I'm empty please fill me Mister anchor assure me That Baghdad is burning Your voice it is so soothing That cunning mantra of killing I need you my witness To dress this up so bloodless To numb me and purge me now Of thoughts of blaming you Yes the car is our wheelchair My witness your coughing Oily silence mocks the legless Ones who travel now in coffins On the corner The jury's sleepless We found your weakness And it's right outside our door Now testify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ted Wakowski Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Rupert Murdoch is next in line to own this site. I hear he has plans to turn the "benches" into a fully interactive, right-wing shopping network and "channel zero" into channel zero 1, 2, 3, Espanol and request live.
