Tell Congress: Stop Big Media

[cinemaarts]

Time to wake up Americans and cut that son of a bitch Kevin Martin down. Get that sell-out corrupt fucker working for Fox and big media criminals distorting the truth!

[LennyWingtip]

o yeah, he's a mjfox look-alike!!?? He looks like h. potter!

[mongobobo]

Off subject a bit, but with the obvious privatization of the FCC, I believe that this trend is moving fast and furious. Utility companies are being privatized all over and it won't be long before we'll be seeing City of Seattle brought to you by GE. Then we will no longer be citizens but shareholders.

[matrixoverkill]

Politicians who lie about promises need to be held accountable and turfed from office for lying,IMMEDIATELY.

[matrixoverkill]

A world wide redistibution of wealth is needed for humanities survival.Regardless of what the ruling elite think or do,we are free from fear and tyranny,and the current economic system will be replaced.

[LayneRoxxx]

How about just stop watching TV?

I don't watch anything that I can't give feedback on.

Spread the word about bias media - turn them off.

[fastcats3]

It is not just television. The media conglomerates own newspapers, radio stations and television. It was the big five that sold the invasion and occupation of Iraq to the American public. He who controls the message owns the past and the future. The airwaves belong to the public....take back the media.

[dnHooligan]

The Rothschilds already own all media sources. Just stop watching tv, people. The evening news is not the truth you should be learning from. Why did you let the patriot act and HR1955 through? Because your ufcking tv told you you had to...and you believed it.

[matrixoverkill]

Also the U.S courts in 2003 already stated that News services are not obligated to report the truth on news.Check out former Fox employees court cases.

[dnHooligan]

That's so sick...people watch the news like it's gospel, and have aright to think so. It's the news for sh*t's sake. I think there was more coverage of vietnam than there is of our imperialistic bullying in Iraq.

[MojoJuana]

STOP the neocon fascist corporate agenda!!!

[jokertim777]

If you are still using TV, radio, and newspapers as your primary source of news and information. STOP already! And since when did Congress start representing "our" interests?

[blair227]

You think capatilism is running unchecked now just let a stupid libertarian asshat like Ron Paul take over. Deregulation of everything.The great depression taught us that unchecked capitalism doesn't work.Ron Paul and his kind will give you a 2 class system, an end to public education and no social safety net whatsoever.

[gimpusmons]

I'm tired of people like you whining about what Ron Paul may or may not do with big business while right now under the Bush administration, which still has a full year to go, corporations are taking over. Want to know why? Because the markets are not free. Government favors certain businesses thanks to fucking lobbyists. Get a damn clue.

[gimpusmons]

A free market where states regulate their own economy is better than letting the federal government use our tax dollars to provide perks and welfare for corporations that then outsource our jobs to foreigners.

[gimpusmons]

I can't believe people think that the federal government is capable of regulating corporations that basically run it. We need to restore the balance of power before we can get big business under control and Ron Paul is the man to do it.

[blair227]

I'm tired of people like you that think 50 sets of bureaucrats are better than one. Thats the most asinine comment I've heard but you mindless paulites aren't the sharpest pencils in the box

[gimpusmons]

I think the reality we face today should be evidence enough that centralized power that tries to regulate the national economy, education system and health care one way doesn't work, especially when it leaves a good percentage of the populace unaccounted for.

[gimpusmons]

The mindless people I see are the ones who happily turn over a disproportionate percentage of their income to the government and expect it to be well spent with fisically irresponsible leaders in charge. There is no check on that save for reducing federal power.

[gimpusmons]

*fiscally

[blair227]

Please listen to this. The reason government isn't working is because the republicans in charge don't want it to work.Bush has put every political hack in charge of the departments. For instance putting a horse lawyer like Brownie in charge of FEMA or Nance Nord as head of consumer products safety.Government has worked and can work again if you actually have people in charge who want it to work.

[gimpusmons]

Our government could work in theory and has worked better in the past. Benevolent dictactorship and true Communism work in theory as well. Yet this country was founded on the notion that theories don't work and checks and balances and effective representation do.

[gimpusmons]

Bush has found a way to circumvent that system, while Congress has stopped representing the people and once the precident is set there is no going back until personal liberty is restored, citizens' voices are heard and the umbilical cord that links the government to corporations, including the Federal Reserve and MNM is severed.

[gimpusmons]

By the way, we already have state beaurcrats on top of far too many Washington pudknockers and they're still screwing up at every level. I should know. I live in Michigan where the governor and legistature rival Bush and Congress for shared incompetence. Nothing like getting screwed at the federal and state level.

[ickytwerp]

Yea and your obviously no rocket scientist!

RON PAUL 2008

[ickytwerp]

Either you have great vision for the future or you stand to loose something from the government. VOTE RON PAUL

[pinpoe7]

No one except rich media moguls want this to happen. Stop big media!

[ponyboy316]

His media, his money, his decisions. He can buy whatever media he wants and he can tell them to say whatever he wants. That is his individual right. Ron Paul would support him, he's doing what is legal under constitution.

[pinpoe7]

There's no way I'd vote for Ron Paul, then. He must believe that the rich make the rules. That doesn't sound right to me.

[mongobobo]

That is the only thing you've been right on about. Ron Paul would support this.

[ickytwerp]

You know this for sure? Ron Paul is the only candidate that's for the people... On top of that he is well aware of what the huge media conglomerates can do to you, I'd be willing to bet your dead wrong!

[JackNeedles]

You are uneducated. Ron paul would never support a thing like this, nor has he. look at his record. he's called "doctor no" in congres because he votes NO to so many corrupt bills. Go Ron Paul.

[COAnews]

nicely done!

[genefire]

Great Post! Going to go sign now!

[librophile]

A casual American observer can easily see the uncanny similarities in media coverage between Hitler, using Joseph Goebbels as his propaganda tool and Bush using Fox News, to spead their "Big Lies."

Simple Motto: Repeat a lie often enough, so that people might start to believe that it's the truth.

[ponyboy316]

No law against reporting false news. Only slander but that involves information towards a person and not an issue.

[pinpoe7]

Do you want to live in a country where the rich and powerful tell everyone what to believe?  I thank god for programs like democracy now! where we can more than just propaganda.

[ScifiWitch]

We're all seeing the cost of letting the big corporations run wild with the media monopolies! Concert ticket prices are ridiculous. Television and radio stations have become mass-produced, repetitive programming with fewer and fewer local DJ's/on-air personalities. As trusty American consumers we get to be force fed this crap while we pay for it?!?

ENOUGH ALREADY! Write an email! Go to a meeting! Let's do something now - not complain about the choice being made for you later!

[ponyboy316]

Welcome to capitalism. This is how it works, these are the results. Just like the poor and homeless. They are innevitable in a capitalist society. People with the capital will have the power over those who do not because capital IS power in a capitalist society. Without it, you can not get your life necessities.

[pinpoe7]

They don't have to be inevitable. What if we redistributed the trillions of dollars that are going to fight illegal wars into helping people instead?

[mongobobo]

No, ponyboy316. We do not live in that kind of society. Farmers get subsidized, Medicad, our federal government recently bailed out big banks  regarding the sub-prime loan mess, etc. etc. etc. What led you to believe that this was a capitalist society?

[LuMagazine]

Shut Down Indian Point, that will send the New York Post screaming!!!

[tortuga66]

This is a great video...we need to do something to stop more consolidation
