LIAR. The media was corrupted by corporate deregulation allowing mainly rightwing-leaning large conglomerates (especially the far rightwing Rupert Murdoch) to own and control huge pieces of what used to be our press. So instead of journalism based on facts and honest debates, they started turning it into a big tabloid, pro-Bush propaganda machine. And why would they back Bush so much? Because the CEO's of the big corps love to monopolize our information and press.

By the way, most media comgloms aren't that biased, except for Fox which obviously is, and is proud to promote rightwing propaganda.

The problem is, per the Constitution and various laws, the PUBLIC owns the airwaves and the corporations only lease rights to them. Plus monopolies are illegal and so is one-sided propaganda. The Fairness Doctrine needs to come back and rural areas need to be re-opened to various viewpoints. This way, professional liars like Hannity and Limbaugh won't go unchallenged in the heartlanbd they they commit crimes by telling people crapola like that Iraqi oil will pay for the entire war, that war hero democrats are all traitors, and that Bush has been decreed by God to lead us against the infidels.
