The 24 hour news machine was created for profit.
Its bloated army of graphic designers, hairstylists, & ruthless skeezy stalking experts,
marches on.
Big money owns the media. Big money depends upon & has paid for keeping the
machinery in place. The act of questioning this machine has been well anticipated,
by all those in power. There is no Left in power. It's a leftover bugaboo word
that was once synonymous with communism. Cold Cold Leftovers from the cold war.
I don't believe this machine can snooker people much longer. ( I would hope)

I recall a time 'bout thirty years ago, when the S.F Bay Guardian rag was a good source.

The world radio conference is coming up soon.
The only way I ever received good/alternative news/commentary, for awhile
was to listen to friends' pirate stuff, but that was years ago.
P.S. Oh, and clear channel owns many of the radio spots..too.
