1. Watch Ring of Fire or Thom Hartmann on FSTV...

... amongst many other shows there and you'll get a better answer to that question...

We just need to find a way to help fund FSTV and LINK TV to get more reach on cable outlets as well as the two satellite services it is on now.

3. Some people try to proclaim the media is liberal

Usually it is only the Conservatives or Republicans that make that claim. They will complain about the liberal media while the media provides them all the airtime they need.

5. Liberal = informed, intelligent, educated and mature (among other things). Sounds like what most

would aspire to, media and otherwise.

Liberal does not mean a different version of the truth, it means the truth.

What a truly liberal media would be talking about is racism and climate change, the two big stories of the day.

6. I would see this

A comparison between family income and expenses from each of the decades of the 20th Century, with cost breakdowns for each type of expense ...

Things like;

Food
Housing
Cars
College
Child care

What percentage of income was required THEN, versus what percentage is required NOW ...

Yeah ... Stuff like that which reinforces the basis for change that is needed to reverse the income disparity we see today ...

11. The biggest problem with the MSM is not so much

that it's incredibly conservative, which it is, but they almost never cover stories of any substance. Or at least so far as I can tell, they don't. Not owning a TV means I almost never see any sort of MSM, which is quite nice.

I am sometimes utterly astonished at what suddenly gets wall-to-wall coverage, such as when Michael Jackson died. I found out about six months later that every single network cancelled regular programming to cover his death, as if it were actually something important.
