I thought money changes everything....?!

[jtsct]

What a major league leftist asshole who lies and then swears it's the truth. Media lies are now know as "ratherisms:, or Ratherism jounalism".

[MultiSr16]

yea george bush and satan dislike it

[westcoastg4life]

george bush dislikes this

[aubreyfarmer]

Zionist Jews want to control the world. They have taken over banking, most of the largest corporations, the media, education, the US Congress etc. Jews fund all the gay and lesbian organizations, Planned Parenthood and anything else that attacks the Christian culture in America. Jews control Hollywood and make most of the pornography. More whore houses per capita in Israel than any other country on earth. Satan should be well pleased with the Jews progress. Christ killers.

[JimboUSofA]

@aubreyfarmer Fuck off and die, Nazi filth.

[honestdelivery1]

@aubreyfarmer that's us :)

[deepblue1776]

Dan Rather is a true journalist and patriot. One of the few who a has real backbone.

[USStateSponTerrorism]

Islamic terrorism is not the biggest problem in the world today, it's the influence ($) of corporations and the Israeli Lobby on our foreign policies and domestic policies. The American military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about many years ago, is pushing us n2 wars only 4 the sake of profits. The US plans to take control in the coming years of all the world's major petroleum resources, by military force when expedient. U can predict all of their future moves with this in mind.

[StigmataBOB1]

People have lost touch with reality. When we are children we are bombarded with Cartoons that show a world that is all lies. We are trained to not believe anything. Santa, Animals, and Flowers with faces that talk, things that die, yet dont die. This is not reality and what does it do to a Childs mind? Then they become Parents, who insist, this is normal? As children, we are taught not to believe anything. And we wonder WHY things like this hatpin?

[believerornot]

Its funny that this is a British news report. Britain is the most oppressed, corrupt, censored, society in the world. Its worse now than the Soviet Union was at its peak.

Everybody is videotaped at constantly everywhere they go. If they make too much noise or speak to loud about the wrong things they find themselves being harassed by police and even arrested. People can't even walk down the street in a group of 4 or more people in case they start a riot.

What a joke!

[fivedrunkmonkey]

Greatest Generation My Ass... Tom Brokaw IsAPunk! Lol U too Dan Rather! Letting Corporation Media Censor You As Your Sitting There In Your $7,000 suit & Tell The American People To Wake UP and I Bet You'll Feel Pretty UNAMERICAN Right About Now, Due To LIES YOU Covered And Not Using YOUR Resources TO Seek The Truth And INFORM The People. WE Have Value On Our Lives Not Our Homes.. Oh And Don't Eat For a Few Days/weeks Then U Feel what I'm Going Thru And The Lower class 2, You High Paid Bitch.!

[liquid49720]

[2242bzo]

Nice to see Dan Rather sorta coming out against the NWO. But fuck him. Where was he for the past forty years? Fuck you, Dan.

[myleftnutts]

[2242bzo]

@myleftnutts Right on.

[brokencasket]

neo con agenda is coming true just wait and see....slowly changing America to their ideal of the world. What do you think Globalism is for? 911.....Patriot Act, growing militarism, war for profit, afganistan oil pipeline,. Is it a coincidence we're fighting Islamic terrorism?

[KaliYugaForKiX]

you cant talk about poilitcs because we follow the left/right crock so hard when are BOTH corporate controlled; false dichotomy. Look at the poster below me...thats the close mind set people who want REAL change have to deal with. Most are still too hypnotized & cowed by authority

[scarletletterman84]

You sound TZM buddy.

[varanid9]

"...what you see in a hollywood movie is not war..." why don't you dredge up another tired cliche', Dan. Typical BBC leftist crap. The reason our journalists don't ask the "tough" questions is because these days they are mostly educated idiots who find accepting government sound bites a lot easier than real investigation, at least until their swollen little egos get damaged, then they turn into vicious little bitches.

[missionaryoffaith]

bless u ..u r not crazy...u carry great wisdom......

[PeaceIsRad]

Nice video!

Watch: FREEDOM TO FASCISM

Awesome flick here on youtube about this very thing.

We need to stop feeding the "Machine".

MACHINE= Military, IRS/Taxes, Voting System, and yes the church too. God exists but Please people....think for yourselves before its too late. QUESTION everything....that's how you find the TRUTH.

Peace on Earth

[PunkMartyr]

I wish everyone could speak this openly about political issues

[missionaryoffaith]

everyone can life is about choices...

[elizdellapiana]

Dissent IS dangerous...

[Yardmon50]

the illuminati blocked out rathers voice at the crescendo of his communication!!! rebel...

[ybcool]

Religion is BULLSHIT!! The U.S. Govt. wants the Ultimate Power over us!! ALL previous World Wars were brainchild of the Govt.'s that claimed to be the Victims! Hitler did it, London's Govt. did it (Train Station Bombing), and the U.S. has done it MANY TIMES before (Pearl Harbor, J.F.K., WTC incident #1 & #2, Oklahoma Federal Building)! This is NOTHING new!! Please, people... Stop thinking the way the U.S. Govt. wants you to think!! Start thinking LOGICALLY!! ;-)

[zoskiaist]

watch 'Fabled Enemies' on google video

[grpenn]

Have you heard the phrase "The people deserve the government they get"? Well, your very attitude is why we are, where we are. No one wants to take responsibility for the punks we all let take over the world. People are so brain washed by the NWO media. Oh, oo, what is Brittney Spears doing now. "Let's take Viagra and watch Entertainment Tonight"

[motorolarules]

Yes I agree.

[grpenn]

Really! Do you study the Earth's secret history? This is actually nothing new, mostly rediscovered or revived tyranny and chaos. I find humans interesting, at best, and vicious at worst. Never trust a human-trust you, only. It's all about "Know Thy Self". Thanx for the thumbs up!! G

[FallenSoulRising]

Excellent comment.

[jvent68]

Some one please help me find a free country---I am stuck in Facist America! Please help me!

[ehunter2]

Shut the fvck up Dan Rather you psycho.

Quit denying that you manufactured documents

to influence the election. You corrupt

paranoid leftist.

[ImTheGrey]

Sure, Helen Thomas, whose questioned every president since 1958, asks a tough question and Bush moves her to the back of the room never to be called on again,but Rather doesn't have a clue. The Bush administration, w/ that one move made sure that every jounalist knew that tough questions would not be tolerated and that when they were asked that the person that asked them would be denied access. And I believe it was Jeb Bush who bought an election, through Karen Hughs, not Rather. Nice try tho.

[ehunter2]

Having seen the multi billion dollar media

sensationalize, vulgarize, trivialize and dumb down America for 5 decades in order to sell them Corporate entertainment how DARE you picture them as heroes of any stripe whatsoever? Any President is contrained by the Constitution, the voters, treaties, laws, the Supreme Court. What constrains the filth of the media? Can you answer? Nothing constrains them but the limits of their own egos and greed...that means there are no limits.

[ImTheGrey]

Helen Thomas has done nothing but search facts report truth and work her ass off. Cronkite cared more about the truth than any man alive.Russert, and Murrow the same.Many of the media r bought and paid for the same as the polaticians Ever heard of John Pilger, Diane Ream, or JIm Lehrer? What contains them are there viewers.The ppl who care enough to hold them accountable.One thing a true republic must have is a free press to hold the govt feet to the fire. The ones who do this well are heroes.

[ehunter2]

I know them all. I know their agenda is a predictable as a mathematical formula. I know the salaries of the media are payed on the basis of the CPM..ever here of it? Cost Per Million ..i.e the more people you can get to watch the more you can charge for advertising. To rope in the idle minds of the masses the following simple formulas are used over and over.

1. The US Govt is lying, the media discovers the truth.

2. The truth is remarkably consistent with

progressive liberal myths.

[ehunter2]

3.The goal of discovering the "truth" is to embarass the big shots the way an adolescent

thrills by finding contradiction in adults

4. The more you can sneer the more intellectually daring you are.

5. Play moral superiority at all costs.

6. Dumb down the audience by reducing every political situation to a simple "moral" story. The President is lying, Congress is greedy, War is bad, Conspiracy is everywhere.

etc

Sound familiar? Its your cutesy little world in a nutshell.

[ImTheGrey]

John Pilger has no need to consider CPM in his pieces. NPR is paid for by the public. I'd love to know where you get your news and who you think repots trut if it isnt anyone on t.v., the radio, and it isn't independant documentary film makers? You've been watching the media for fifty years. Your opinion as someone over the age of sixty who frequents youtube intrests me greatly so please, if you need to, send me a longer response privately, I will respond.

[ehunter2]

I stopped believing that "information" is of any worth long ago. Computers process information. The educated mind seeks knowledge. This

"objectivity" you seem to see in The Media is there only because you cant see the tidy little assumptions that vapid institution lives upon. Funny how a repository of knowledge is just a waste of time to you. I just watched a 12 pt series on Spanish Civil War as told from the Nationalist side of things. The media would have never allowed

me to see that.

[ehunter2]

Your beloved Media operates on the "broadcast" mode. They talk..you listen.

Passively. Unable to slow them down, ask questions or talk back..you are forced to sit there. Thats another way they manipulate the mind. With You Tube I am in a vast library where I can question things, put togethe complex ideas at my own pace. Not being interupted by imbecile commentary and

moronic commercials. Complex adult ideas..not "information" or talk show gibberish.

[ImTheGrey]

So you get all ur information from YouTube and the internet?No need to sift through any bullshit there.All the net did was spread scientology and the theory that the attacks of 9/11 were an inside job. And great you know about the the spanish civil war. Do you know whats going on in Burma right now? The Sudan? U see information can lead you to try and change the way things unfold in the world around you. If u look at information with a critical eye and discern what is valid and what is vapid.

[ehunter2]

John Pilger has only one thing to consider..how can I fit my show into the

received ideas of NPRs commissars.

[ImTheGrey]

The man has watched war unfold all over Earth from behind the lines for the better part of half a century. He has asked the questions no one else will and reported the things that have been hidden by all the other media outlets. And if your so informed why do you use the word liberal as an insult like some kind of mindless neocon drone? Is there a bias here your trying to hide?

[ehunter2]

Again, the distinction between "information" and "knowledge". You have lots of one, and no concept of the other, at all. You sit breathless at the edge of your seat as The Media stimulates your conditioned responses with this atrocity, that scandal, this war.

And the more up to date the report, the more exciting, the more hypnotized you become.

Sprinkle the information with constant evidence of hypocrisy in the adult world and you have everything a teenager could want.

[ImTheGrey]

I have knowladge, and I use it to discern good information from bad. I've spent countless hours expanding my pool of knowladge beyond my peers so that I'm not the drooling idiot on the edge of my seat waiting for the climax. Just FYI, I haven't been a teenager for a little over a dozen years. Your assumptions, because of our difference in opinion, belies the fact that your knowladge has not quashed your prejiduce, or your preconcieved notions.

[ehunter2]

In America we have Perpetual Adolescents by the millions By "expanding your pool of knowledge from your peers"..all you have done is gather TV fed gibberish in slightly different shadings. Nothing too difficult, all of it well..."progressive". Shall we go through them?

1. No Blood for Oil!

2. Bush Lied People Died!

3. Question Authority!

4. CoExist!

5. Change You Can Believe In!

6. Bush Hitler!

[ImTheGrey]

I did not expand my knowladge FROM my peers, I said BEYOND. Second it had nothing to do with tv. For the record I am not a democrat or a republican but a conservative. Small fed. govt, strong on defense, stay the hell out of peoples personal choices, help those who cant help themselves. And shall we examine the neocon litany of bullshit.

1.War equals peace!

2.Religeon is Morality!

3.Patriots Never Question!

4.Minorities and Faggots are Evil!

5.Stagnation is Progress!

6.Barack Bin Laden!

[ehunter2]

All the cut-n-paste drivel of a suburban teenage rebel going through the motions. Tell us little Timmy..what do you know about

Religion?..Hmmm? Oh wait..pedophiles! Thats what was on TV last week. Petc etc...Anyway I thought you were a smidgeon smarter than you are..but actually you are too stupid to argue with

[ImTheGrey]

I used your device to show the fault (and oversimplicity) of it so if you think its childish perhaps a look in the mirror is needed. I was confirmed in the WELS church and when I grew up I left behind the backward dogmas of brainwashing orginized religeon, and started to study real science, real history and real morality without all the contradiction and blatent sexism/classism/rascism. You put effort into studying talking snakes and parting seas and I'm stupid?What a fraud(like christianity)

[ImTheGrey]

Typical neocon. Somebody comes along with a good arguement, a thought out point of view and the means to communicate ideas clearly and you run and hide. Reverting back to fear and propaganda only enforces my point. Try to take your thumb out of your mouth long enough to put down your blanky and at least read some of the new posts.

[ImTheGrey]

Both of these lists are accurate, the problem lies in the fact that you would never admit it. All your so-called knowkladge and you cant even see past your own propaganda. Your high horse is one with only three legs yet you claim to be an aquestrian. You're more full of shit then the media you decry, and have ben doing it so long you cant even smell yourself anymore.

[mellynnee]

BOTH of your arguments would be a bit more persuasive if you learned how to spell properly.

[ImTheGrey]

I spell fine, but im usually at work and dont edit, and I freely admit that my typing is really bad. The idea not, the spell check, is more important

[simplyMike11]

You have "knowladge", yet not enough to realize that you continually spell the word improperly. I've read your responses/opinions, and my intelligence(not 'knowledge')tells me that you have a grandiose gift of verbal diarrhea combined with just the proper amount of *bovine excrement[*read bullshit] to give readers the narcissistic ideal that you actually know what you're talking about! Engaging you in an exchange of differing opinions is akin to having a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

[ImTheGrey]

Well the simple part is right anyway. And if I'm such a dunce why did you not attack any of the ideas or argument that I posted? I'll tell you why, because your a spelling nazi and you've never had an original idea. I make sure I know what I am talking about while you on the other hand made sure to talk about nothing. Did you have a point troll, or was this post just a vapid attempt to impress your junior high boyfriend?

[ehunter2]

I am not trying to hide it at all. The bias was right there from my first posting.

The Media uses "information" and "moral outrage" to dumb down and trivialize life.

The half educated love them for it. It leaves them smug and self congratulatory.

[blanchelincoln]

Yeah, we're going to listen to a lecture about free speech from the BBC. The same BBC that bans the word "terrorist" now.

[Zoidborg1]

smart man its hard to see it all around you when your submersed in it

[limboslam]

Bullshit
