MEDIA WHORES ONLINE

Hi Buddy,

You're characterization of the media is accurate, if not quite vitriolic enough for my rather more flamboyant tastes. I prefer these ranting jeremiahs:

Not that I don't appreciate your views. <smile> As far as consolidation of media outlets into an oligopolistic structure that protects their advertising revenue over all else, a simple preference for 'sex scandal fluff'
I have come to the conclusion that Rupert Murdock is EVIL PERSONIFIED in our modern world. In every instance that he's cunningly taken over the media he has lower the IQ level of discussion, he has pandered to the mob's basest instincts, he created propaganda for his own ends and he's gotten rewarded beyond the wildest comprehension of an honest scribbler like me. His Corriere Della Sera
corriere.it
is clearly a mouthpiece for the CIA and the DoD Offices of Strategic Disinformation. He trashes labor unions with impunity, destroying pensions and retirements of thousands of honest toilers in the bowels of the news business. He is evil personified.

Re: Whatever the reasons are, what passes for 'national media' these days is heavily out-matched by our current crop of Spin Masters....

Again, I disagree. The media is the handmaiden and chief slut of the Spin Masters.
