Reply #7: I Know How Tempting It Is...

[neoblues]

To keep hoping that the media will show some sign that they have at least a tiny, tiny little smidgen of "fair and balanced" coverage... or at least an occasional bit of truth. It never really happens, yet the eternal optimist within us... causes us to continue to be surprised when the time for surprise has long passed.

Whatever you hear or see in the media is there for one reason: to support the agenda of some group (Corporations, their Wealthy Owners, Powerful Political Leaders--both Known and Unknown but all with support for Conservative/NeoConservative/Theocratic/Republican ideologies...). Nothing exists there that does not have an agenda that is in some way harmful/destructive to/antithetical to populist or liberal or left or Democratic goals/needs/hopes. You may have to analyze it carefully, but even in the rare instance they appear to be presenting something we can agree with, no matter how small, there definitely exists a reason which explains how it is but a part of a larger effort to work against us. Remember, Nothing At All... Nothing gets through but that it's planned to support their (sometimes mysterious) "agenda".
