"I only wish the media and corporate industries were scared of Kucinich and Paul! Sadly it appears to me that they aren’t even a little scared - they have made the decision to sideline such campaigns and marginalize such messages with all the powers they have at their disposal - not out of fear but because they CAN!
They own the networks: they easily squelch any public appearance by candidates they don’t want seen/heard. Then they simply use their “pundits” to denigrate whatever pieces of such messages squeeze through.
As long as America is complacent enough to get their NEWS from corporate owned media, they will have corporate approved candidacy(s). It’s not like MSM is upholding factchecking or qualifying their sources anymore - so what makes them trustworthy?
Just check out the alternative candidate support blogs if you want to see how pervasive MSM’s affect on our national conversation is… I consistently read about how “Whacko”, “nutjob”, “deluded” and “unelectable” all but Clinton and Obama are - people read and regurgitate these absurdities as a sideaffect of the shortsighted sophomoric pap that now passes as journalism in our MSM.
Where are the great investigators and journalists of old? Where are the men and women who’s own need to know triumphed their need for inter-corporate awards and pay raises? Freedom of speech is nothing if those wielding the pens and microphones of the media are simply corporate hacks.
Perhaps this is how excellence is born...from the ashes of deceit and mediocrity rise the strong new voices who actually believe in something.
We the People need to have one National network on our airwaves and one National news outlet where all candidates have an equally accessible weekly forum, where there is no advertising and NO outside commentary. Candidates can provide their own links to the resources they want to use as reference and Americans can simply make their own choices sans any spin (and with the work of having discovered it for themselves).
And… to take it one extreme further - ALL Politics should be banned from any of the corporate channels and newspapers. Let them earn their money actually reporting NEWS!"
