It is my hope that this documentary will provide an opportunity here for a dialog regarding the current state of our media, and what is needed to return it to our "fourth" branch of government. |
Whoa !!!!!....wayyyyy too much information. Gimme little factoids of USA Today style, "McNews"..... ala the "hoes" in the "Imus story" thread, soes I can get up and running.....in other words....start posting away, without having to read some loooonnnnggggg OP, and then digest all of it, before I post a response. Fuggedaboutit....this thread is not going result in dialog, IMO.
Sorry, Elphaba....but that is how I see things happening here, and my disappointment is showing, I guess. The "Imus" thread shows that this forum is just like any other at TFP. Participants want to post....after a very brief read.....preferably on a topic that can be completely understood in less than a paragraph.
It is of little consequence that Brett Bozell has convinced half the country that the mainstream, working press is "liberal", or that Pat Robertson's Kay Coles James was appointed in 2001, to oversee all of the hiring and the personnel administration at the White House and in the rest of executive branch agencies.
People just want to be entertained.....they seem most eager to discuss the least impacting events and controversies. The CNP can continue to pick our presidents in secrecy, while we're all watching NASCAR or the NCAA "final four".....
My own reaction to the article in the thread OP was posted, in advance, in many of my last 1500 posts on this forum.
