Right - there was no division between races before but lately, such a gap.
Nobody wants to hear about Klansmen or kids killed by community watchmen so why do media outlets keep bringing them up?
Incidentally, the Trayvon story was 3 weeks old before the kids parents and masses of angry black protestors brought it to national attention. The
media eventually were forced to cover it, though 'the vixen' was always dragging it's heels - like it do.
Actually, you see dramatically different versions of the same news on all three main stations, and they are all basically similar in format - BUT if
you look closely at them you will see one of these 3 is not like the others.
They are all skewed to favor somebody - TWO ARE seeming to favor labor unions and workers, women and minorities, animal rights groups, the poor, (the
99%) and peace activist's.
THE THIRD... is anti-environment, pro-oil, pro-war and skewed to favor the (1%),
corporate millionaires and billionaires only. It virtually
shuns those represented by the other 2 news stations. You might more accurately call this station.
Billionaire News...or THE CORPORATE ORACLE.
"Where philanthropy is obsolete and just wealthy isn't enough."
Slick, polished, snake oil salesmen. Folks who gave birth to the phrase;
"Who dies with the
most toys wins."
They suggest ALL AMERICANS might be well off but Democrats are giving tax money to places like rehabilitation centers, welfare programs and planned
parenthood. Meanwhile, they are sending OPS (other peoples sons) to the front lines of war, strangling the health care debate and demonizing the
poor.
It is FAKE NEWS. I don't know why they named it FOX, unless they think they're "sly" because they hate foxes, moose, polar bears and any kind of a
varmint that gets in the way of drilling. You got two news stations who are clearly horrified at opening up environmental wetlands for development.
They're reporting on the protestors and documenting community outrage.
The 3rd news station decides to feature the Oil Company (destroying the wetlands) and focus on the local jobs it will create. This 3rd station
interviews
employees and company reps and promotes the measure. You getting a picture?
One is using a news outlet to promote depleting earths resources
and the already wealthy are making a killing doing it ....
While we are all distracted, fighting amongst ourselves over media coverage,
race issues, fetal rights and gays getting married - we take our eyes of the prize.
We do not see our Constitutional protections being stripped away or the crooks
staking claim to and walking off with - our jointly owned natural resources.
Without a free and fair press you have no democracy.
End of story.
