Of course it does. But it's paid to the government, not to some great big scary monster called 'the mainstream media.'
So advertising does not work, they spend millions on advertising because it is not effective in making people consume?
That is not what I said. It is in fact the complete opposite of what I said.
ATS is so educational at times!
Evidently it does not improve reading comprehension, because yours is abysmal.

This week there were huge demonstrations against Monsanto across the entire globe - at least 40 cities and hundreds of thousands of people.. Try to find a report on the BBC or CNN, and then tell me again there's no agenda.
That's just one example - there are many more.

Oh yeah—and he wants us to give him our money.
Sounds like a cult.
It's the 'people's voice', anyone will be able to have their imput from anywhere in the world.
This project would serve as a platform for people to avoid the censorship and control of the MSM which only promotes the agenda and lies of their controllers.edit on 1-6-2013 by Wonderer2012 because: (no reason given)

I agree, he doesnt speak for all. But I bet he will try to do alot of " whistle blowing" on his shows.
He would have been better calling it " The Ickey channel".

Three points.
One - OK, I give up. What's the agenda?
Two - Your example proves my earlier point. There is just too much news and the omission to report is seen as complicity in some cover-up.
Three - The anti-Monsanto demonstrations never materialised in the UK. I am sure three or four banner waving activists turned up outside Bristol Cathedral, but hardly newsworthy. GMOs are an issue and I have strong views myself, and the issues are widely reported and analysed, it’s just that demonstrations against Monsanto are more of local/niche concern IMHO.
On the 25 May 2013, which was the anti-Monsanto day of demonstrations, the news had to deal with more immediate and important issues.

This was a huge event globally, and the idea that other more important news stories somehow prevented it from even being mentioned in the MSM is plainly ridiculous.

CNN reported it.
How did you miss all of these?

Its a 100 percent success rate.
Every single time, without fail, that an ATS users says "the mainstream media wont cover this story", many many examples are easy to find.
Its almost like those users are lying their heads off, hoping that people wont take the time to check the facts.

But nothing prevented it from being mentioned in the mainstream media. I've already proved that it was all over the mainstream media. Here we go again...
CNN reported it.
Huffington Post reported it.
MSN reported it.
CBC reported it.
ABC (Australia) reported it.
ABC (North America) reported it.
How can you claim it was not even mentioned in the mainstream media? Why would you say this when we can all see for ourselves that it's not true?
