Dan Rather said, regarding American media, "What you have is a miniature version of what you have in totalitarian states".

Indeed, former military analyst and famed Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg said that the government has ordered the media not to cover 9/11.

An expert on propaganda testified under oath during trial that the CIA employs THOUSANDS of reporters and OWNS its own media organizations.

Famed Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein says the CIA has already bought and paid for many successful journalists.


I could only clip whole paragraphs for some reason, so the clip isn't as I would have liked it to be, but the whole article is well worth the read. Please go to the source for the full story.

The media is common enemy that I think we can all agree to dislike or hate. I hate to use that word "hate," but sometimes it's appropriate.

It's been said that what divides us as a country is not nearly as strong as what unites us. And what could unite us more than our common enemies?

This reminds me of a west wing episode that goes something like this:

President Bartlet: We agree on nothing, Max!
Senator Max Labell: Yes, sir!
Bartlet: Guns, drugs, education, school prayer, defense spending - you name it --we disagree!
Labell: You know why?!
Bartlet: Because I'm a lilly livered bleeding-heart liberal, egghead communist?
Labell: Yes sir! And I'm a redneck gun-toting son of a bitch!
Bartlet: Yes, you are.
Labell: We agree about that.
