Of course the news is propaganda. In fact, it's sensationalist propaganda, no matter where you get it from. Best to get it from numerous sources and try and sort it out for oneself.
I mostly just look at the weather forecasts, and they're usually lies too....
If you think it's work, you're doing it wrong. |

Sure. But who has time to read every inch of 7 or 8 papers and 7 or 8 magazines to get all of the news. Better not to have it quite as slanted as the corporate media gets it slanted.

LOL. Ain't it the truth though! The things that 'they' report as news is what pisses me off. Who cares about some movie star getting divorced or how much the latest movie made at the box office. That's not news that's publisity.

Is it just me or is the comming (possible nuclear) conflict between India and Pakistan reported unprecedentetly unbiased in the western Media?
I find it astonishing that they so far have managed to resist the temtation to cast the whole conflict in a black and white picture. Normally I would expect reports with one side being the good guys and the other side presented as evil. Not that they are reporting much about this at all.

Clearly, we will have to begin referring to NBC as "The Native American Network".
Is anyone else stunned by the absolute uniformity of the numbers across the three networks?
