6. This one thread could make ten great threads...

Every headline is shameful.

7. This is going to be an unpopular statement but...

..compare the number of posts on this very site/forum related to any one of these subjects with the number of posts on this site about a TV movie on ABC.

Are we really any better than "the media"?

Yes, the inaccuracies in this Path to 9/11 movie are infuriating and wrong. And it's important that we fight it. But the sheer volume of posts on the subject in relation to it's importance, especially when compared to the lack of volume of posts on these other, just as important subjects is actually quite staggering.

9. I, for one, think we should just forget.....

...about all this nonsense and go down to McDonald's and have a good time.

12. Because the M$M is consolidated and corporate we can do nothing

to get to the TRUE news stories. We must vote in Democrats that will "break up" our bloated USA M$M conglomerate run by no more than 5 corporations. :(

14. "Media" Is Plural Form Of "Medium"

should read, "...the media ARE ignoring."

15. I had to come back to this thread...

It amazes me that it didn't get much attention.

I wish you would repost it, maybe reword it differently. ...Or better yet, open ten separate threads. One each day.
