  • Nazis want to dumb down America and destroy diversification and the truth. One way is to buy up all of the media. The FCC constantly acts against the public trust and should be fired!

  • You are so right :)

    TAKE BACK AMERICA!

  • @82Pumpkinfarms #1 a decade and running...seems you are in the minority..they report, you decide...(that is if you can change your liberal robotic ways..)

  • What alot of you dont know it Peter Hart interviewed for a Fox News contributor position and was turned away..see where i am going with this...bitter boy

  • Great clip! Keep them coming!

  • Faux News leads the way in allowing corporate America to tell you how to think!

  • we start with signatures - according to school house rock - we get enough signatures to...make a bill??? i have some friends in high-ish places, we make a bill...change the law...save the country. should we?

  • Darn good question. Unfortunately I went the wrong direction by withdrawing when instead I should have put on my kid gloves and started punching. I guess it's never too late though. Things possibly could improve but we have to kill the corporate mindset that has plagued America and seized control over our public servants in high places.

  • it was alomg timw ago you were on this site, desertjournalonline , but I wonder...do you think we should do something??

  • this country was founded on "BY, For and OF the PEOPLE" the GREAT EXPERIMENT. the pondering of weather or not we should mind that corporations are slowly taking control of our nation indicates that 1. The experiment seems to be failing & 2. Fidel Castro was correct, unbridled capitalism will be the ruination of this planet.

  • The days when news came from all the same source through a corporate filter and the real news had to be derived from this, resulting in a constant stream of the same old outright lies.

    Or the days when we had to parse our way through millions of feeds of information all at once, often settling on the brand that we feel most comfortable accepting, creating the feeling of truth that Colbert has labled "Truthiness".

  • on the one hand you have the consolidation of the media on TV and the radio limiting people's choices. on the other hand you have the internet where anyone can be a journalist and people will have unlimited choices. Depending on the eventual choice society will have to make on Net Neutrality I wonder which we will look back on more fondly:
