I`m downright fed up. This is news? Some Barbie or Ken doll yakking at me from Karl Rove`s talking points memo? That`s right. These folks don`t do soldier casket photos. Just shots of Michael Jackson in his pajamas or some idiotic Barbara Bush sighting where she explains why real Americans should support Junior. Now the Morals Police have summoned all patriots to join Tom DeLay`s fight to save Jeb`s own Terry Shiavo. It`s amazing that viewers haven`t all gone off the deep end.
I started my corporate media boycott on November 3, 2004. Can`t say it wasn`t hard. It was because I`m a news junkie. But let me tell you, it was like having a festering sore removed. Ahhhhhh..the relief. Now I get my national/international news from Free Speech TV or Link TV. It`s great. I get to hear from real people about very important issues. No spin, no commercials, no "retired" military consultants, no Tim Russert, no Wolf Blitzer.
Here`s my question: What(if any)impact would we have by collectively boycotting corporate media and sending emails explaining our intentions and reasons?
Remember that old joke? Question: Why are you banging your head on the wall? Answer: Because it feels so good when I stop.
