The mainstream media is blaming us
Blaming minorities, the poor, and working-class for the looting perpetrated by the rich.

When America wakes up to this fact, a revolution will begin.

1. They've been blaming minorities, unions, the poor and working class
And all social programs and regulations that protect them loudly since 2008. Started with Ron Paul fanatics and libertarians. The new breed of republican (Paul Ryan Rand Paul etc.) are running with the blame the people and stupid government policies to protect them theme.

They make me sick.

Anyway quite surprised people have yet to pick up on that...

This has been going on for a long time.

4. Mainstream media is our enemy now.
Yeah, it sucks to realise that fact, but the corporate media no longer has our best interest at heart. The sooner we see the coprporate media as our enemy rather than an ally the better our democracy's chance for survival will be. After all, this site is called Democratic UNDERGROUND for a reason.

5. "Enemy" doesn't sound good but
Edited on Wed Jul-27-11 12:56 PM by zacherystaylor
that seems to be essentially what they have turned into. They're nothing but a propaganda machine for the corporations anymore. We need to find more alternative news outlets and sort out the ones that are also corporate fronts until we can have major Media reform that allows many more voices to be heard whether they've been approved by the corporations or not.
