Tonight's UNBELIEVABLE MSM schedule

[malachibk]

MSNBC -- "Signs of the Divine" (8 - 9)
CNBC -- A 2 hour show about Walmart (8 - 10)
CNN -- About the possibility of a homeland nuclear attack (8 - 9)
FOX -- War Stories with Ollie North (8 - 9)

Are you kidding me? Seriously, it's almost laughable if it wasn't so very, very disturbing. Thankfully, the Simpsons are on and I don't watch any of those channels anyway.

1. Sounds like a good time to...

turn that shit off, and quit supporting their ratings, eh?

[malachibk]

3. Like I said, I don't ever watch those channels

But was flipping through the cable guide menu and those 4 channels are back to back and I was floored.

Just wanted to share.

4. Better yet, turn it off and write a letter with a cc's to the sponsers

Telling them why and mentioning that you're going to avoid their products- and that you know dozens of others who are doing the rxact same thing....

[Swamp Rat]

2. Pull the plug immediately on the brainwashing box!

5. Watch the Pistons Rip the Spurs

That's the ticket!

[KarenS]

6. All I can say is "thank goodness" for Star Trek DVDs,,,,,

we are up to "Enterprise" Season 1 Disc 2 now,,,,

[bicentennial_baby]

7. I'll be watching "Manufacturing Consent"

or "Hijacking Catastrophe", or "Rich Media, Poor Democracy"

I rented all 3 today for under 5 dollars total, for 7 days. J'adore my new video store!!

[longship]

8. Dontcha just love CNN?

Stir the public up with a lot of hoopla about nuke attacks.

Tempted to watch it and see if they say "Nuke-Kyoo-Lar".

9. Read a book. n/t

[Zenlitened]

10. Oliver North should have been stood against a wall and shot for treason.

That's just a fact.

11. Thank god for the CBC

=) Although, CBC reported the lack of WMD's, lack of terrorist links etc before the war started and now they seem a little bored with the topic.

[true_notes]

12. AMurca's MSM no long matters to me

I have a BBC connection. If they are having a Bullshit day, I simply do not watch T.V. Better to avoid pursuasion than being pursuaded.

13. Please refer to it as corporate media, not mainstream media

To most people, being "mainstream" is a good thing. Also, it's the money-driven corporate ownership which corrupts the media, not it's establishment statuts. (Except for Fox News which really is designed as a pure right-wing propaganda operation from top to bottom)

14. whoa,how can I see all 4 at the same time (bwaha)

[Warren DeMontague]

15. I turned it off sometime before the election

haven't gone back.

"Signs of the divine"- let me guess; images of the virgin mary on burnt toast, again?

[Bouncy Ball]

16. Which again is why I have shunned cable news since 1994.

It just gets worse and worse and worse. Turn your back on it, seriously.

[TomClash]

17. The "Opiate of the Masses" is not religion

It's television.

[0rganism]

18. It's both, and televised religion counts quadruple

'nuff said.

[KharmaTrain]

19. Don't Forget The Fascist Drill Instructor On The History Channel

R. Lee Ermey...a walking, talking commercial for the Pentagon.

Where's Gomer Pyle when you really need him?
