Reply #211: The biggest accomplishment of the corporate media

[Radical Activist]

is to make certain ideas outside the realm of allowable discussion. Certain ideas, concepts and opinions are deemed too outrageous to consider.

The greatest accomplishment of the internet is to shatter that stranglehold on information and access to non-mainstream ideas. I don't think the corporate media is trying to hide anything about the tsunami. But I think we make a big mistake if we allow the corporate media to ridicule us into playing their game of not allowing certain ideas.

We're adults, most of us. Anyway, we can figure out what is credible and what is a crazy conspiracy theory for ourselves. I think it will be a sad day if DU becomes a place that censors itself from expressing ideas that are disapproved by the corporate media for fear of being ridiculed.
