It was shocking how issues were presented as "news/fact". The attitudes, sneering, etc., were appalling. I knew better, but if that was all you viewed (a la Faux News) you'd be hearing only what you wanted to hear. NBC now has Comcast as its majority owner, and the differences are noticeable. MSNBC is treading water, but it too seems a little tame these days.<br /><br />What was even more scary was the attempt to alter the Wiki entry on Paul Revere to sync with Palin's version. Wiki had to lock 'em out.<br /><br />Anti-intellectualism. Pro-corporatism. Keep the masses ignorant, feed them pablum.

A big, fat, uber sad yes. Somehow, the GOP managed to morph fact into a new form of opinion and the press has greedily obeyed this new order (or should I say empire?). All for what? The support of oligarchs? Just...god. <br /><br />I don't bother with conventional news outlets anymore. They're all just puppets.ConsciouslyFrugalhttp://consciouslyfrugal.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-66849649684880985822011-06-08T21:56:22.472-06:002011-06-08T21:56:22.472-06:00Jay - I have a most amusing picture in my mind of ...Jay - I have a most amusing picture in my mind of the Palin/Bachman 2 headed monster.<br /><br />Anne - I have come to the conclusion that our system requires a massive and incredible ego in order to pursue the career of politician.

Lots of money behind them, and no shame. <br />Makes me want to move to Canada [again]. Last time I thought that was in 1980. Considered it in September 2000.<br />Lot of anti-intellectualism in this country.<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
