1) How is VZ Analysis biased? I don't think the article you cited makes such a broad argument. I'm not even sure if it made even a plausible narrow argument.

It just said, "sure we said there weren't human rights violations in VZ, but that doesn't mean we aren't happy with the talk about cracking down on the media corporations who feed us."

2) You need to see The Revolution Will Not Be Televised to have an informed opinion on this issue, if you ask me.

3) You think that the people with the most money, who control the media should be free to lie? I think an approrpiate resonse would be, perhaps, progressive taxation, good anti-monopoly regulation, and a well-funded state media as a counterbalance (ie, the kind of stuff VZ is trying to do).

4) Do you understand what Apocolypse Now was trying to say about fascism in that scene? Do you realize how dangerous it is to present "news" with such an agressive editorial agenda (which "soundtracking" clearly does)?

This isn't about "titties" it's about fascism. Our FCC cares more about corporate profits than it does about telling the truth, and that's a big reason why they're focussing on "titties" right now.
