There are a handful of media companies in the US that tend to have one commitment: not to inform the people and serve the public, but to allow their shareholders to make money.

  • America gets squat when it comes to truth but while thousands of people are killed at the mexican border, the only thing the news can talk about is american idol..Now tell me something isnt wrong with that....not to mention the thousands killed in the war!

  • government controled media may be very biased, but so is commercial media like CNN and FOX. our big news stations in america are driven by profit. you max profit by maxing out ratings. how do you increase ratings? tell the truth? tell whats important? those are all relative...

    in america they will talk for days and days about how a duke university student raped a striper while most americans have no idea how many genocides, wars, famines and natural disasters there are in the world.

  • turning the evil bastards into celebrities

  • George Bush and the Economy Ression are are wonderful for the free world . With the destruction of America and the Jews the world will be a better place. Amen Let us hope that the financial proplems of America continues for a long time .

  • Not so much even 'the media', but the Corporate Media.

    Why is it ok for corporations to have so much say in what you know about the world?

    Media moguls (Rupert Murdoch, Gordon Black, Ted Turner, J. Randolph Hearst back in the day) were bad enough, but why do Sumner Redstone and Bill Gates have to have a say?

    Concentration in a few hands was also helped by deregulation, one of the mainstays of Neoliberal economic theory (along with Privatisation and corporate Free Markets).

  • The Media is bad, but Communist media is worse. Look at Xinjhua.

  • So true. Great video.

  • coming from russia today...LOL.

  • Sarah Palin looks hot in a leather skirt. Google "Sarah Palin in leather skirt". Now, that is good news.

  • It matters not if Afghanistan was at the border. The truth is the Soviets invaded it.

  • According to South Ossetian and Russian officials identities and circumstances of death of 365 victims were collected. During the conflict, number of deceased victims was initially claimed to be much higher, at 1,492 civilians. These numbers were disputed by Human Rights Watch, Memorial and the Georgian side. When interviewed by Memorial, Ossetian residents revealed that most of the killed were the representatives of armed resistance.
