If that happens the media as we know it will be completely destroyed. That's like 1/2 the major newspapers in this country. Freedom of the press would be dead.

I see this bumper sticker regularly that says "I don't believe the liberal media. I'm thinking "hey I don't either." All we really have is Rachel Maddow, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert.

Thanks Triana! Hope 'Citizen Koch' gets to dvd quickly. I'm on limited gigs and miss so much Mnemosyne May 2013 #1

I will be buying it if/when it does! The article in the OP is real journalism, IMO... Triana May 2013 #2

I watch PBS mostly and am sickened every time I see 'sponsored by Koch' on a show. Mnemosyne May 2013 #3

I watched the trailer. sheshe2 May 2013 #4

Triana, thanks, have just shared on two websites. This is as good as the Thom Hartmann piece here. freshwest May 2013 #5

The Kos piece it came from is great! freshwest May 2013 #6

Sure it. It's a fine piece of work. I'm keeping it bookmarked separately for reference. n/t Triana May 2013 #7

A very toxic combination of some extremely evil people. Initech May 2013 #9

Yes, what bit of integrity is left in the corprat-owned media would be one. Triana May 2013 #12
