yes friends Tonights sinker thread
does anyone have any good ideas about how to make this thing we call t.v. and main stream journalism get back to thier original job of selling processed food and soap ? They are being paid more by the neocon corp. to sell fear,greed and death which is the new sponsor.

2. I have some ideas,odd but maybe effective.
How do we boycot without hurting the innocent workers just trying to survive ? take the march to the corporate head quarters and get ready for some serious backlash.Our glossed over American history doesn't show the pictures of steel workers,coal miners,news paper workers and so many struggles for what we take for granted.The info is out there to see but it isn't pretty,democracy isn't easy to keep.As things get worse people come out of thier stupor and have to lay it on the line.The war in Iraq is a bloody diversion to the truth at home.We will have to fight agaisnt what keeps us comfortable if we want a country where kids get to live an American dream that has become forgotten and replaced with convience and greed.

3. main stream journalism is not main stream
I feel it's censored. Only certain people can get close to this president in a press conference.. I you ask the wrong question or state the wrong facts you'll no longer have access..I think it's hard to get printed as well. I wonder how Reuters or AP gets their "main stream" objective facts about the way events unfold?
