Subject: RE: BS: CBS promises Fair and Balanced news!!!!
If any of the Big Three (not including Fox's enetertainment fauve-news station) they all lean heavilly toward the Bush and his ahministration..

Why? Easy. Money, They all will make more money if the FCC kills off the last remaining ownership regs and Bush and Michael Powell (Colin's son) they have their guys.

Proff:

Well sure. Look at the 2000 election. Here are Big Three who in the previous 8 years collectively wrote and printed 784,094,883 negative words about Bill Clinton. That's a lot of words. Then along comes frat boy with a history of womanizing, partying, sniffin coke and with a serious alcoholism problem and not a peep??? I mean, go figure???

Not enough proof. Then after party boy is selected by Jeb Bush and Katerine Harris to be president and before party boys daddy's Supreme Court votes him in, Greg Palist presents the Big Three with evidence beyond any shadow of a doubt that party's boy's brother, Jeb, and Ms. Harris has illegally purged some 57,000 black voters from the being able to exercise their votes. What did the Big Three do? Nothing. The Post ran an article on it on page A-17 or so with a couple of columns inches two months after Bush was sworn in??? Go figure, Part 2...

Oh, not enough yet? Rewind to the Bush's run up to the invasion of Irag. Yeak, go back to October before the invasion and read what the Big Three wrote about the massive demostartions all over the world. And agine a month later. And then again in January... Massive demonstaration with millions of people in the streets all over the world saying "NO!". I was at 2 of the 3 in Wsahington, D.C... The first one was barly reported though there were around 250,000 and what was reported was on the back pages. The 15 or so Bushites got almost as much press space as the 250,000 of us. The Novemeber demonstartion barely got covered even though C-SPAN covered an hours of it late that night after almosr eveyone had gone to bed. The January demostration got front page but the 500,000 or more folks who participated were reported as "tens of thousands" which certainly gives a wrong perspective of it's size. And of course the usual cast of brownshirt (about 20 Bushites) got lots of press... LIke go figure, part 3...

I could go on and on... The right wing knows it has the press by the throat but they will keep feeding that "liberal press" pablum to the up and coming brownshirters 'casue it plays well into their steady druming of anyone who writes and read must be an intellectual and all intellectuals are commies crap...

There is only one barely major pregressive media outlet in America and it's Pacifica... That's it as far as "liberal media" goes. The rest are nuthin but shills for the Bush regime...
