4. Well, to be honest

It's false equivalencies all the way down. If you're having a conundrum, they've already got you.

5. Where it ends is the dissolution of our nation into corporate fiefdoms,

and a population of serfs, where it begins is your television set.

6. That is brilliant...You need to publish that somewhere besides DU

Let's see... there's The Nation, The Progressive, Utne Reader, The New Yorker, to name just a few.

Where does it end? Might never. Unless we can get some reality pumped out to the
American people instead of this crap we call our news media. I want to throw something at the the TV or radio every time I hear a pundit say "Both sides are guilty of it."
