The Bottom Line
The corporate media outlets, press and TV, exist to sell paper, to make money. These talk show hosts are little more than disc jockeys playing the most popular tunes or the ones being pushed by themselves and their employers. They have a high margin of profit and a low level of integrity. The coverage of the 2000 election was evidence with their gushing embrace of the Bush boy.
I decided, not with my vote, not with my money and canceled almost all subscriptions to the dailies, weeklies, and monthlies. No one obliges us to buy or read the pablumn shoveled behind their much discussed covers, as though this is of great importance. I now spend the subscription money on books, "How Would a Patriot Act?" is an example, stay informed by reading the international press on the net and a great varity of blogs. The information is out there, it is just that you need a sturdy tool to find it.
It is a reward to read Glenn's articles.
