Censorship


What people aren't getting about the MSNBC victory to exclude Dennis Kucinich is that the media is deciding who we vote for. What happened to the pride that journalists had in reporting the news, getting the scoop, letting the American people know what is REALLY going on? Granted, the profession of journalism has had its own difficulties. But as I mentioned in my first post, if you want to find out what's really going on, you have to dig around on the internet and check out alternative news sources.

We are living in our own version of 1984. We don't really decide anything for ourselves any longer. We are fed through the media. We need to stand up to the media and the corporations behind the media and tell them to get back to the business of reporting the news rather than creating the news.

Remember the word 'boycott'? It isn't heard much these days. It's time the American people boycott the major media companies and their backers until they clean up their acts and quit trying to tell us who to vote for, where to shop, where to take our vacations, what laws we'll support in spite of the fact that we never knew they were being passed, what scientific news is most important.

Okay, I know there's a lot of news out there. I know editors have to decide what goes in a newspaper. But if you're going to present one issue, then present the other side, or at least the information where readers can do their own follow up.

Wake up America!!! We're losing the battle against Big Brother!!! Write to MSNBC. You can do it from the comfort of your PC or laptop. I've even made it easy for you by including the link (click on MSNBC). Go to the bottom of the home page and click 'Contact'.

I called NBC's comment line over this and have removed MSNBC from my cable favorites. Talk about a corrupt network.
