I have been fighting for this issue since the media ruined the 2000 election and was the primary reason that GW won the white house.

News for profit is not that same as News to inform the public on critical issues that must be addressed in our democracy.

GW bush and his white house wouldn't exist if it wasn't for this corporate media supporting him to the very end. MSNBC is shift after KO has shown them the way.

Do you realize if the Titanic sinking occur today and GW was the Captain of the ship, the cry from today's media would be to blame the men in the iceberg crow's nest and not to hold the president, I mean the caption of the ship, accoutable for the disaster.

The media would be crying not to hold a true fact finding inquest because it would only bring back bad memories for the families of those poor victims. The cry from the media would be that nothing can be done to improve ship travel and all passengers should purchase expensive personal life boats.

What is amazing is that the american people and the press of 1912 wouldn't fall for that tactic to protect Captain Smith, then why did the americans of today not interested in finding out what really happen on 9/11. Yeah the mainstream media will report whacky conspircy stories to promote the image of a interested news organization searching for the truth, but they ignored real questions on why certain protection measures were not implemented to proctect the lives of almost 3000 americans.

Yeah, don't bring of that so called 9/11 commission. I doubt if Captain Smith, if he survived could have gotten by with sending in his comments thru a third party at the Titanic inquest.

Of course, we didn't have strong media regulations in 1912, but we had so many truly independent news papers that they pretty much regulated themselves and if the didn't the american people had more options for there mainstream information.

Enough of me, getting back on point. GREAT POST ...Keep of the good work.
Thanks
