Is there even a remote possibility that the MSM can ever be legitimate
again? I know we in the DU know how they are basically all propagandist for *co. Will we ever be able to look to the media in the US for real, substantive news ever again?

This is scary. We are internet savvy and know how to find information and truth. But many do not have the knowledge or the ability to do this. This, imho, is why there are still too many who are brainwashed into believing all the lies of this assministration.

Any hope?:eyes:

1. I don't know, but it would take a miracle
for me to believe them again if they said the sky was blue.

2. Not as long as they are owned by the big conglomerates.
The good news is that they will continue to be marginalized by the internet. We liberals need to use word of mouth to spread the truth.

4. Liberation of the information stream and
decontamination of the voting process
might bring back democracy so money no longer owns the government.

3. A healthy skepticism has to become a permanent condition.
Maybe their virginity can be restored: mine can't.

5. Only if it's completely razed and reconstituted from scratch.
It must be done by governmental fiat. ABC, NBC, CNN, Comcat, Clear Channel, etc. must all be dissolved and their voting stockholders and boards of directors put on trial in the Hague for Julius Streicher -like offenses.
