Why is there no longer unbiased news on TV ?

It may be a reflection of the speed at which news now travels. There is no longer a lot of time for digging and the less you dig, the less likely you are to be objective.

From what little I have read/video/ascertained of the man, I respect his intelligence.

In my circles, he has been branded "Extreme Socialist" or even "Communist.

While I have an affinity for mild socialism. (Jesus Christ was a Socialist/Humanist),and whilst I could create a Much

longer list here, I will do my best to be accurate....Communism in concept becomes Slavery in reality.

It is no different than extreme Capitalism. Extreme Capitalism results in Serfdom/Slavery.

Clearly, modesty on both extremes may prove to be "The Society of Mankind in the 21st Century".

Best to you,

Hang in there, and never do get off your "SoapBox." Especially when it comes to your children.
For the exception of the occasional "Gifted Miracle Teacher,"(and they due exist thank god), your children
will most certainly be directed by a few "Charlatans" who make a career of the "Soap Box." The variable being:
They cannot fool adults, but they can certainly fool our children. Thanks, and Happy Spring to you and yours.

I had to read your reply twice and then again to fully capture what you were conveying.

You clearly are educated and a thinker in depth. Maybe you will be a journalist in your own right

amongst this new wave internet media of the future.

I think I may have to read your reply yet once more. Star to you, and

You are most dangerously correct about people not "knowing what they want."


Particularly in more affluent societies.


You know the old saying about "Idle Hands" do you not?

reply to post by sensible thought


Well, yes, it has been so arrogantly "Scrubbed" it is not worthy of being called even the "News"

Glad you noticed. Spread the word. Become your own news reporter.

At this point, your word is as good,(if not better), than theirs.

Truth has a way way of bubbling itself to the surface. No matter how murky the depths.

Thanks for your nice reply.

Well let us put it into context, The World is Dramatically Changing. Maybe he should have used the term,

"The New Order of The World." I truly believe Charlie not only has family roots, friendships, and most

importantly, An American Soul. Therefore, taken in this context, the NWO is a failure for his CFR Fellows,

Friends,and Associates if it does not put forth the well being .,health, and Future of The United States of

America forefront.. So what is he telling you? He is telling you in his own humble way that

The United States of America

must change and not only incorporate itself into, an ever adapting and changing world, but be a vital component

of that change.

I believe it this is due to the recognition(at the highest levels), that we are all on this "Blue Ball" together.

It was money, but now that isn't enough. More and more People everyday are becoming "Eyewitnesses."

Not only with the capability of photo Ops on their cell phone, but the ever growing natural demand to

communicate faster, more accurately, AND with an opinion.

The New World Order may turn out to be "The New Order of The World."

The Greed Heads are running scared. Well as they should be. For Shame is like the common cold.

It will always find you. Thanks for your reply!

I really used to believe that myself.

Yet no longer.

You are a prime example of the new intellectual elite who has the open mindedness, and guts

to say "Not So Fast." That ability is not only frightening to them, but it is contagious as well.

It has become a matter of awareness at this point. Rightfully so. We have earned it.

Numbers don't lie...They are outnumbered. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Thanks,

Because the news agencies became properties of parent corporations.
Those said parent corporations are politically invested entities and those political influences and loyalties are translated into their properties.
In short, lobbyists.

Now For The "Conservative News Media"

Why did Australian Rupert Murdoch forsake his native country and become a U.S. citizen? Reportedly it was because he could save on taxes and start over in virgin territory after leaving behind so much scorched earth in the Australian economy as he laid waste to his business opponents and bought up media outlets. Or perhaps it was just so he could get around foreign media ownership laws. (Which no longer exist.)

Does a Saudi billionaire actually have the power to control the news on the Fox network, of which he is a part owner?

It's no surprise that corporate robber baron Rupert Murdoch is a major Bush supporter but who else owns Fox News? Prince al-Walid bin Talal owns 5.5% of Fox News.

Prince al- Walid bin Talal stated recently that he used his influence to change Fox's headlines. During the recent riots in Muslim neighborhoods in France Fox was using the term "Muslim Riots" to describe rioting by Muslim youths and Prince bin Talal claims that called Fox News had them change the title of the story to "Youth Riots".

In another instance, where supposedly conservative Fox News should have been up in arms, was the deal by a United Arab Emirates holding company to buy U.S. ports. Suddenly Fox went from being against the deal to very supportive of a deal that would have put US container ports in foreign hands. A U.A.E. sovereign wealth fund also owns major shares of Fox.

The "good ole boys" that hang on every word that Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly utters might not be so happy when they hear who is whispering in their idol's ears.

The Council On Foreign Relations and What It Has To Do With Corporate Control Of The News CFR Seal

What do Dan Rather, Barbara Walters, Jim Lehrer, Rupert Murdoch, Tom Brokaw and the late William F. Buckley have in common? They are all members of the CFR, The Council On Foreign Relations. The stated goal of the CFR is to manipulate the News to bring about a new world order or corporate control of everything. This is not some weird conspiracy theory, it is stated in their original charter. Who else belongs to the CFR, Disney's Michael Eisner and ABC's Thomas Murphy, Tom Johnson, CEO of CNN, Time Warner's Gerald Levine, and many, many more media CEO's who have merged their empires under the CFR's guidance.
