I am SICK of the mainstream media using Drudge as a reference
Edited on Sat Mar-03-07 05:15 PM by Quixote1818
Right off hand I can think of two lies Drudge reported that the mainstream media picked up and ran with in just the last month. One is that Nanci Pelosi wanted a huge jet to travel to DC in and the other was not showing all the facts behind Gore's house as related to energy use. Turns out Gore's house is also his office and he paid an extra $6,000 for wind power etc.


While I hate Drudge I am more upset that the mainstream media is treating what he posts on his website as gospel??? What the fuck? :wtf: From what I understand the story about Gore's house was printed on the front page of the local newspaper where my Dad lives and even Lou Dobbs picked up the story according to my Dad. Also, all the major networks ran with the Pelosi story. This is just fucking bull shit and the mainstream media needs to be called out on this!


It's time to end this little honeymoon between the Mainstream media and Drudge! I am absolutely SICK off all the lies and bull shit!

1. The media isn't mainstream and therein lies the problem. Corporate owned, so using rightwing scum
for their "news" source makes sense.

6. Exactly! The operative word is "lazy".
One click and the bastards know that they can grab hold of some bullshit that may or may not contain a kernel of truth, and then quote it as "news".

5. Tis Easier Than You Think, to Dump America's profit driven Fetid media.....
After discovering the Guardian and Independent Newspapers
found in the U.K.

And especially,
the B.B.C. Treasure Trove of information and
radio programs is nearly beyond comprehension....!!

As an example,
for those who have an ear for popular musical history,
"Henry's Swing Club" from Humberside, U.K.
is truly a treasure, not easily forgotten.
Instantly Available with Never a commercial or
corporate sponsor to be heard.

Good Luck and Good Night!
