Like the corporate media is waging a "war on truth." Why is there a calculated and organized war on truth in America?

Because the corporate media is waging a war on truth, they are the enemy to all of us who love America because hiding the truth is destroying America as we know it; the "free press" guerrillas are now the bloggers and the info sites and the forums (like this one),who are the insurgents against the assault on the truth.

Fighting the "war on truth" should be shouted loud and clear as a front and center campaign of all of us who love America.

on edit and afterthought: perhaps not a war on "truth" as much as a war on FACT. The corporate media has been waging a war on FACT for several decades now. Of course, calling it a war on "truth" is much more provocative.

Case in point: George W. Bush has commited a felony against the American people and violated his oath to protect and defend the Constitution with his warrentless spying. This is a FACT. This is TRUTH. But within days of this revelation, the corporate media entertained us with two sides of this FACT. They gave a forum to Repugs who came on MSNBC and Fox and CNN and spun the FACT into an uncertainty: was what he did really illegal? In FACT, yes. But the war on truth brought us uncertainty, and a result, debate.

The FACT of his violation of his oath of office has been covered over by the smoke bombs thrown in the war on truth.
