94. because they have no CHOICE
name me 1 M$M show that is PROGRESSIVE or INDEPENDENT.

there are NONE.

the ONLY progressive programming we got with a national reach are on the radio and they are very RARE.

it is a DISGRACE what are media have become under corporate ownership and abandonment of the principle of all sides must have a VOICE.

you may not see it because it is so pervasive it appears 'normal' but if you were around in the 70's and before or studied what scholars have written about the actual stats of the diversity of the M$M you would be astounded.

we live in a time where ANY voice for the people is ridiculed, threatened, deionized and mostly ignored. it is why we have the problems we do today and our children are growing up in a culture of crass consumerism and only care about satisfying their immediate programmed needs and thats it.

i am a self educated punk philly kid who has traveled and worked abroad and in corporate america and i am SHOCKED at the MANY know-NOTHINGS who have no shame or desire to learn or their lack of knowledge in fact they think they know everything and are dammed proud of themselves.

we are heading for a great fall and it is due to the cartoon world view promoted and broadcasted all across our great land by corporate america and their henchmen in our gov. bet.

when that day comes it will be more devastating then anything witnessed and suffered by man in history and it will be all our fault.

will our children EVER forgive us :cry:

peace
