    Mainstream Media has existed ... thrived in this nation as a case study in 'appeasement'.

    In short ... they make money by not making waves.

    There have been some exceptions.

    For instance, Mainstream Media kept the Clinton's Whitewater 'scandal' in the news for years - even though there was never anything found. They relayed every feed from Sun Myung Moon's "Washington Times" and regurgitated it to the public.

    But generally, Mainstream Media does not care about INFORMING the public with ANYTHING substantive. Look at the run-up to the Iraq war. There was plenty of evididence that this was a completely contrived ... arbitrary war.

    Did media ferret out any information on this?

    NOPE! In my opinion, the only REAL journalistic effort at questioning the Iraq war was made by Joe Wilson ... the fellow who went to Nigeria looking for a connection between Iraq and WMD.

    But Joe Wilson is not a reporter. He's not a journalist. He got into print by writing an opinion.

    Mainstream Media let George W. Bush roll over them.

    Mainstream Media has NO backbone whatsoever.

    So for FOX to charge Bias in Media is completely ludicrous.

    But I will tell y'all this ... and I think it's very important to remember.

    There has NEVER been an extremist Ideology that has NOT attacked "Mainstream Media."

    EXAMPLES:

    Hugo Chavez has been claiming the Venezuelan Mainstream Media is biased against him ... and uses HIS media as a propaganda weapon.

    Augusto Pinochet claimed Chilean Mainstream Media was biased against him ... and used his military to shut down all who disagreed with him.

    Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian Premier ... bought up the majority of Mainstream Media to ensure HIS Right Wing propaganda was the only message heard by Italians.

    Adolf Hitler claimed Mainstream Media was run by Jews ... and was biased against him ... and Germany ... and he shut them down ... and replaced them with his Propaganda.

    When Samoza took over Nicaragua ... he claimed Mainstream Media was biased to the left ... so he shut them down.

    When the Sandanistas too over from Samoza ... he claimed Mainstream Media was biased to the right ... so he shut them down.

    See?

    You can ALWAYS identify an extremist by how much he goes on about Mainstream Media being 'against him'.

    And ...

    You can ALSO measure how extremely ... weirdly extremist ... how anti-traditional American values ... one is .... by how VIGILANTLY they whine about Mainstream Media being biased against their ... Ideology.
