It's past time Dems EXPOSE the GOP control of media and voting machines.

[blm]

How many times do WE have to see the problems that exist, without the Democrats - as a priority for the PARTY - committing to exposing these two of our most serious problems that deny the American public their right to an open democratic society?


We need to promote institutions like MediaMatters that tell the truth with the same enthusiasm the GOPs promote their liars like MRC and Brent Bozell.

1. There would go any money they are getting from the corporations (but I

totally agree with you)

[blm]

2. The Dems don't get the BIG corporate pac money the GOPs get and they

CERTAINLY don't get the Billions of dollars worth of protection that BushInc and the GOPs get.

3. Here's a thread that's useful-and timely. I link this in many threads.

Pass it around some more, it has a lot of answers to a lot of questions for everyone looking for truth beyond the psychological operations of these BFEE fascist lunatics, blm.

Another useful link that was once totally repudiated, denied and/or disregarded but is painfully true is this one by Cheryl Welsh.
"The 1950's Secret Discovery of the Code of the Brain: U.S. and Soviet Scientists Have Developed the Key to Consciousness for Military Purposes. How thre U.S. Government Won the Arms Race to Control Man. A documentary with quotes by leading scientists, professionals and several independent sources. "

4. Thanks for posting it here. Many people have no clue that we have been set

up for DECADES to be at the place we are today - and gaining control of the media in the 80-s and 90s was the fascists' most deliberate and most successful move.

6. Their only oversight was not anticipating the impact of the internet.

Hell, that's what made me an activist. I was so enraged after 2000 that I reached out and sought kindred souls in the only way I could, through message boards on the internet.

10. I'll kick, too - I hope people see your post.

Maybe you should repost as a thread and flesh it out some more for those who haven't studied the issue.

8. With McClatchy buying KnightRidder and selling papers to GOP activists

the GOP has taken control of a large part of the print media, as well.

9. I am with you in despair on this issue, blm.

Grrrrrrrr.

11. One part despair, 3 parts anger, 6 parts activism.
