Gore Vidal on the media

Visit the community: http://therealnewsjunkies.ning.com

Have TV journalists learned anything from the last several years?

Says Vidal: "Everybody with an IQ above room temperature is on to the con act of our media. They are obeying bigger, richer interests than informing the public -- which is the last thing that corporate America has ever been interested in doing."

Gore Vidal is in my oppinion the most brilliant man alive. George Carlin is my hero but he would kneel down and kiss Vidal's shoes if they ever came in contact. R.I.P. George but props to Mr. Vidal as being the most intelligent man to ever live. Pure genius.

"been brought up on advertising" absolutely correct... this man is a compilation of all the brilliant minds of history. I aspire to one day have as much and maybe more than Gore Vidal. Hate or love the man, you cannot disagree that he is genius

Total contempt for the people of the country. Remember that American when your sons and daughters are called for duty,remember that when you go bankrupt because you were injured withour medical insurance.Remember when you consume the food they serve you and the way they treat military men when they return.Air Force Dumped Remains of at Least 274 Bodies in Virginia Landfill NYtimes look it up. What a disgrace, when will 99% fight against 1 %

First question: "Do you think television journalists have "learnt" anything from this last four years"? Evidently, learning how to pronounce a word at a kindergarten level is too much for the questioner - as well as asking a question in a grammatically correct manner..

1876 was the price I paid for gas once. I thought of Burr when I saw it written

on an Eskimo Pie package.

Paul Jay is an arrogant worm. Too bad he lost his sense of humor. He would have made a good song and dance man.

63 dislikes means 63 puppets are still running on "Reagannomics" Keep living close minded, and you shall die that way, but I shall not be around.
