"We don't need a free media."

[journalist3072]

These right-wing nut jobs have lost their freakin minds! I'm sitting here listening to Randi Rhodes show, and this crazy man has called into her show. He tells Randi that "we don't need a free media."

These people make we want to scream and pull my hair out!

1. Not as much as I am screaming right now

Over being called "ghetto" and "echoing of news"

I am going to go pull my hair out now before I smash the keyboard as I cannot afford a new one.

7. Oh, well...

some people didn't think the personal computer would ever "catch on."

Those same people would probably have thought that the printing press was "unwieldy and unnecessary, and put too many monks out of work".

The Internet is the ONLY place to get news -- and indie media sites like yours are in the forefront.

Don't tear your hair out because of a few short-sighted folks.

:hug:

2. "We're safer because we invaded Iraq."

She's taking him on but he is quite a stubborn bastard. Damn.

3. Yes he is!

4. It's pretty hilarious that freepers are listening to and calling Randi.

Maybe they're getting paid?

How much would I have to be paid to listen to Rush... hmmm...

6. You couldn't pay me enough

But I do thank newshounds for keeping track of Faux snooze.

8. What if they made Rush share his Oxycontin stash with you?

If nothing else, that'd make the listening easier...

14. not my medication of choice

At least what I rely on to maintain sanity is considered legal if you're of the appropriate age.

5. Calm down

That's the point of their fanatic rantings. They want to drive you toward irrational, emotional, un-thinking response. It's just trying to reduce the level of intelligent debate.

9. just had a similar conversation this week with two co-workers

who believe it's quite alright for the media owners to control the news - after all it's THEIR money paying for it!

I looked at the other libs in the group - we just sorta dropped our mouths and realized there's no way to argue with these people. They have no idea what democracy means.

11. Democracy

Why should they care for democracy when Christians want a theocracy so they can kill people willy nilly?

10. And you were expecting something else??Shrub ,Bragg's about not..

Reading newspapers, they pay homage to shrub, kkkarl makes more opinions, without all those boring facts.

[ComerPerro]

12. But without a free media, how can we release the stranglehold

that the liberals on the networks and at the New York Times have on our news outlets?

Isn't the problem that the media is too liberal and too biased? So, therefore, don't we need a free media?

13. Some real Rovian logic there .Excuse me but are you a Frigger???
