rok100 ::: Favorites There is NO LIBERAL MEDIA - anyone asserting otherwise is either "a believer" or "a deciever". 06-11-22 02:40:53 _____________________________________________________
fasmerom ::: Favorites There is no such thing as a liberal media. The media is not supposed to have an opinion. It's just a distortion by neocons that get pissed off when the facts are reported or tough questions are asked. If the media is indeed "liberal", it is because they cater to some corporation or ideology just like Fox. You want facts, get it from the internet. You want to be fed propaganda and opinions watch TV or listen to the radio. 07-01-14 04:22:04 _____________________________________________________
kami888 ::: Favorites The guy has a point but he doesn't take it quite far enough. The fact that the media in US is owned by a handful corporations, as opposed to Canada which he brought as an example, has nothing to do with the issue at hand. 07-02-24 17:56:35 _____________________________________________________
kami888 ::: Favorites If instead of 5 to 6 major media companies, let's say we had 150 to 200 smaller media companies, this wouldn't matter one bit, because this doesn't change the fact that those companies are still owned by wealthy shareholders and high level corporate managers whose interests are supposed to coincide with the interests of the owners by definition. 07-02-24 17:57:29 _____________________________________________________

kami888 ::: Favorites The owners and the managers have the constitutional right to filter, interpret, and present the information in any way they desire. This applies to all media, including printed press, magazines, radio, television, internet magnates, and so on. If the said media is a "public service" -- the government does this; if it is a commercial service -- the corporate owners do this. Whether you like it or not, we're all under the thumb. 07-02-24 18:09:21 _____________________________________________________

mowriter ::: Favorites WOW...this is an incredible speech. At best, Faux does a service to this country when Democrats are completely in power (all 3 branches of govt) by being the "voice of opposition"; otherwise, they are pravda for the Right. 07-02-26 16:16:53 _____________________________________________________
eac7871 ::: Favorites No. Very Wrong. Big Lie. No constitutional right, as you describe, extends to media managers or executives whom are using the FCC Regulated airwaves. Presentation of content has a codified statutory oversight. See Janet Jackson, and Superbowl debacle. 07-04-16 05:12:47 _____________________________________________________
