This is going to be a major problem with information desimation for the US.

Corporations are starting to run everything. Corporations tend to follow certain parties.

Now after reading this article. Add in the fact that Sinclair are huge donars to the Shrub and the Repub National committee.

I even heard(have not validated) that they "suggest" the employees donate to the party.

I was once under those suggestions when I was working at an aerodefense company. What was interesting was that I had to explain myself to why I didn't donate to the PACs before a couple managers and a director. :roll:

Oh there is definitely censorship
but this doesn't really qualify, because ABC is the press
however, this does count:

Same things, different sources...I think it's interesting to see how they phrase it differently...

So to offset reading the names of Iraq dead we should read names of terrorist vistims?

Iraq never had anything to do with terrorism, that's now obvious.

To say that if you oppose engagement in Iraq you favor terrorism is a feeble fabrication.

If a media outlet were truly leftist they would show in living color all the victims of US violence, and all the US atrocities.

The media is very conservative. How many anarchist societies do you see on TV? The only mention of an anarchist I've ever seen on TV portrayed him as a bomb throwing terrorist.

It's gotten pretty bad. Didn't used to be that way.

Remember Walter Cronkite? The most trusted man in America.

It's scary to hear the way people think.

In a French class a girl asked about King Louis' twin brother. The teacher said she didn't follow. The gal then explained about the man in the iron mask :shock:

So people cannot pay their respects to the dead without promoting some kind of anti-war agenda? Refusing to acknowledge the death of the fallen for fear of the political fallout is ironically the kind of biased reporting and censorship of the truth which these stations argue that they are trying to avoid.
