  • Actually, McChensney, a published author, is well known and influential. The media reform movement he spearheaded is growing and seeks to protect democracy in media. You, on the other hand, resort to weak conservative-style name- calling without information and make vague accusations of bias and propaganda without support for your comments. McChesney's views are making a positive difference for the community, while yours appear to want to stifle freedom of speech.

  • Bill Moyers called Bob McChesney our modern-day Paul Revere and Tom Paine combined. More than anyone, McChesney has sounded the alarm about the media's assault on the public's understanding of and participation in self-rule. As goes the media, so goes our republic. A great American.

  • Wow these comments below! I am speechless how ignorant some people are. I wonder how many of you watched this video and are actually intellectually able to counter any of the points he makes? None I'd assume. A healthy media relies on the ability of marginalised people to have a voice, this is where governments should help, 'fowardmover' is quoting two extreme examples. You'd have NPR and PBS shut down would you? Just so there isn't any opposition to your pro-billionaire, narrow minded views?

  • This disheveled pseudo-intellectual leftwing loon wants government financed press? Like Pravda and like in VenezuelaFree Press? What a crock!

  • This fucking guy is a DANGEROUS son-of-a-bitdh. After we impeach Obama

    and bring him to trial for treason (Where's the birth certificate?), we need to

    arrest Communist bastards like this.

  • This guy is a Nazi -- wants to stifle free speech, is anti-capitalist. SHAMEFUL

  • Don't refer to Anarchist or Libertarians as Conservatives. They're Republicans. The Conservatives are in the Democratic Party with the Progressives.
