Your chances of getting your 15 minutes of fame are much higher
thanks to the sad state of today's media.

Corporate ownership has put America on mute when it comes to information that affects our economy; political thievery and corruption from Republicans; plans or information from Democrats and the so-called "War". But what we are not hearing about or seeing anymore is leaving a vacuum that is being filled with mindless information that passes as "news." Exhibit A: A mailman working at a post office had a drunk driving accident. It was picked up from a small Wisconsin paper and CNN is "reporting" it. It's a local story, at best but when there is no news because everything's being censored, then this is what we see.

So, watch out. Don't do anything stupid. The smallest incident could make you the corporate media's next sacrificial lamb by casting you into the national spotlight to fill their empty airwaves.
