I just wanted to get a discussion started about waht you guys think about the media and society. This article was not supposed to provide news of any sort.

"If you pick up a news paper or any source of news you will realize that you are getting a right wing point of view. All television networks that supply news have governemnt contracts, these contracts make sure that the news is not too liberal. There are not nearly enough highly circulated liberal magazines or newspapers. There needs to be a huge change in the next couple of years. There needs to be more liberal media."

Good one. This IS a joke right?

when you are as far left as these guys the "comunist weekly" looks like a far right publication.

I am not joking, I feel that the far left isn't represented enough in the media.

The American press has a liberal bias and it's been that way for years. The major networks are controlled by NYC Jews who vote 95% Democrat. The leading newspapers are clearly liberal biased (NY Times, LA Times, Wash Post, Boston Globe, Houston Chronicle, etc. etc).

The only bright spot is the Fox Network where you can actually get objective fair and balance reporting.

On June 8th, the Houston Chronicle ran this article demonizing corporations for their highly paid executives. It ran at the top story of the day and was boldly featured on page 1 of the main section.

On the same day, the same newspaper ran this story about the Bush Administration's plans to provide prescriptions benefits and improve the Medicare system in America. It was tucked away on page 9.

I wonder why this same newspaper has never run a page one article about high salaried Hollywood entertainers, high salaried athletes and coaches, or high salaried labor union officials. Hmmm???

The only question remaining is whether the editors decided to do this on their own, or were encouraged by officials at Democratic Party Headquarters.

This is so typical of our left-leaning mainstream news media in America.

The Democrats are so starved for meaningful issues that they're attempting to turn corporate executive pay into an issue. This is certainly an issue that might interest the stockholders of the particular companies cited. But it's a non-starter as a political campaign issue that might benefit the Demorats. They simply have no valid issues and that's why they're grasping at straws like this.

...FOX News is still out there, spouting the neocon party line.

Just one major conservative media outlet.

And the lefties are deathly afraid of it.

They won't be happy until all media outlets are Guardian franchises.

O'Reilly will face, in time, a revolutionary tribunal.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

You really believe that nonsense, don't you?

You know, they already had the Worker's Revolution...eight people showed up, then went back to the unemployment office.

Reply to @ -- Maybe you could enlist Fidel Castro as your leader @. He's got experience and knows how to organize and lead your type of revolution. He's better looking and cleaner than most of your guys too.

Too bad he no longer has Che to help out. Maybe you could spring Mumia to fill Che's role. Mumia just looks the part and boy does he ever know how to fling bullshit with the best of them.

Whenever you do get your revolution up and running, I'm going to start collecting old cars. They'll become valuable, just as they have in Cuba.
