small market share when compared to the the big three. Their function is to provide blatant propaganda so as to provide cover for the big three that allows the big three to broadcast a more subtle, and more effective propaganda.
This was what I took away from the Clinton witch hunts and impeachment for unimpeachable offenses. Sorry, but not disclosing lurid and graphic details of the President's personal sex life is not an impeachable offense.
Pox News led the impeachment charge and the big three got in line and jumped on board the bandwagon with the lunatic fringe.
No one in the corporate media, excepting Kieth Olbermann, refused to cover the nonstop Republican jihad against a duly elected President.
The Republican attempt at a bloodless coup d'etat was blatant and the media just acted like it was normal.
Currently the news chain starts with Rove who passes it to Drudge who sends it to Rash Limbaugh who gives the nod to Pox News that gives cover to CNN and then it's picked up by the big three as propaganda disguised as news.
Like the defunct Soviet Union, the people of the United States are becoming more aware every day that our news is nothing more or less than that old whore propaganda in a cheap disguise.
Presstitution fails more every day, and soon today's convention will be in History's dust bin.

This is good. I plan to use this on a few hard headed right wingers. nt Tennessee Gal Nov 2012 #1
