Re-read my response to your comment here on page 3 and let's not go through this again - we shall agree to disagree.
The whole media's controlled by a few corporations thanks to de-regulation by the FCC.
The “Chinese Professor” ad, which features a chilling
look at one potential future scenario if America continues
on its current destructive fiscal trajectory, is a 2010
homage to “The Deficit Trials,” a 1986 ad that was
produced by W.R. Grace & Co. For those who were able
to view it, the ad caused a sensation; it was considered so
controversial at the time that the networks refused to run
it.
J. Peter Grace, CAGW’s co-founder and the
chairman of President Ronald Reagan’s Private Sector
Survey on Cost Control (the Grace Commission), was
alarmed about what the debt would do to future
generations. The national debt was $2 trillion in 1986,
when “The Deficit Trials” ad was denied broadcast time;
today the debt stands at $14 trillion and is projected to
reach 140 percent of GDP in two decades, the time in
which the CAGW ad is set.
Notice how a reference is made to another ad that criticized the
national debt, which dates back to 1986 and which was banned
as well. This may indicate that the CAGW was anticipating that
the ad would be banned, hoping to get a lot of free publicity that
way. Many newspapers reported the banning and many gave
their readers links to the Internet sites where the ad could be
seen. The rhetorical position of the CAGW in the case of a
banning is very comfortable; they can simply say: “See how the
established media do not want to hear the truth”.
Notice also that the CAGW describes the discourse world of
Beijing 2030 as “a potential future scenario”.
So I seen the little" Im Just a Bill guy" in the cartoon. Is he a crook too? Because if he is then my childhood was a lie.
