9. With a completely
one sided corporate media there is no avenue to correct this condition.

Even traditionally fair media sources like NPR have been compromised. So the information the American people receive is geared toward protecting this destructive status quo. The American people would be appalled if they only knew what was happening to them but they remain steeped in ignorance. Powerful tools of manipulation and misinformation are at work full time.

So instead of the real picture, the American people are fed a caricature of the truth, a distortion of reality. On every media outlet the Tea Party is portrayed as a real grass roots angry uprising focused primarily on the evils of the Obama Administration. Obama is supposedly simultaneously Marxist, Fascist, Muslim, a non-American, Socialist bent on destroying the nation.

How can the American electorate make informed decisions when we are faced with this onslaught of propaganda?
