Dean and the media redux

[fabius]

Another theory, and a pretty good one, from a fellow Dean supporter...

"The corporations that now run the country
decided to kill Dean because he promised re-regulation of the corporations,
including a breakup of media monopolies. It looks like the corporations have
succeeded. What I don't know is whether they want to kill Kerry later or
whether they would prefer a Bush-lite Kerry administration to a continued
Bush administration. My cynical view this evening is that the corporations
will decide who will be president from 2005 onwards. A majority of the
voters will vote however CNN tells them to vote, and CNN will take its
direction from Halliburton, Chevron, and Wal-Mart.
Despite this level of cynicism, it feels better to keep on fighting than to
surrender."


:tinfoilhat: It doesn't take much tinfoil to believe this one, Dean did say exactly that and make it a big issue.

However in the words of a great imperialist, "We will never surrender!"

1. My two cents worth ...

Dean got it from all sides.

The corporations don't want him for the reasons you stated.
The Repugs don't want him because he is inspiring people to get involved and reclaim their country. They don't know how to fight that, which is why they prefer sheeple.
The Dem establishment doesn't want him because they can't control him.

JMHO

2. They call him People Powered....

This could be a turning point in American politics. I am proud to be a Dean supporter.

3. Battty - well said. That is exactly what happened. I am very sad

being a Dean supporter. I just can't warm up to Kerry. I would rather have Clark or Edwards.

4. What? Are you saying that giant media conglomerates actually

sometimes use their vast power in forming public opinion to serve their own interests rather than to report the news objectively in order to best serve the American public?

Perish the thought! You must believe in conspiracies!
