		<description><![CDATA[Canceling your cable is a good first step.  Whether you watch CNN, MSN. ABC, etc. or not, if you are paying for cable, they get a cut of what you pay every month.  It makes no sense to even complain about  what David calls mediacracy, if we can&#039;t bring ourselves to stop supporting it financially.  Did I cancel mine?  Absolutely.  Earlier this year and entirely in reaction to the lack of media ethics surrounding the doctoring of the Zimmerman 911 call.  There is no other way to hold them accountable.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The reason why the mainstream media confuse ethical behavior with supporting the left is that for four decades or even more, our entire culture has steeped itself in the delusion that collectivism is good and individualism is bad. Therefore, any political or cultural trend toward individualism is not just not collectivist, it&#039;s bad. It therefore follows that any effort to stop the bad is a good effort, no matter how much such action might involve misconduct or unethical behavior.  A lie told to counter the bad is good.  A punch to the belly of a (bad) individualist is a blow for righteousness. 
 
It doesn&#039;t matter that much of American individualism encompasses helping those less fortunate, or rooting for the underdog, common American traits; the model for collective good is Soviet Communism. Accordingly, systems must be like Soviet Communism in order to approach the ideal of good. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the knowledge that the major media stations are owned by very left wing politically active individuals that insist upon &quot;controlling&quot; what news is reported, it shoud be no surprise to anyone that they are merely being propagandized by those stations. Why on earth would ANYONE who believes in collecting FACTS and TRUTH to make their own decisions upon even listen to/watch them when the obvious conclusion is that you are their sheep with which they&#039;ll tell you what to think? 
It&#039;s past time to NEVER watch them whereby eventually it&#039;ll be impossible for the to sell ad space and go out of business. Fair minded people (for the few that remain) need to buy out stations or create new ones and hire ONLY something called JOURNALISTS who are able to report facts as they happen and know HOW TO dig for truth when it&#039;s not obvious.  Glenn Beck was the ONLY person that did just that and he was ostracized, even by Fox! Yet, as we see before us, HE WAS RIGHT! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;Professionalism means doing your job, no matter what your opinions are, not turning your opinions into the goal of your job.&lt;/i&gt; 
 
It would be useful to ask a debate moderator, &quot;tell me what role your personal view on the role of government has played in your reporting.&#8221; 
 
And then she could say, a la Biden, &quot;My personal view on the role of government defines who I am. And I&#039;ve been a practicing socialist my whole life. And it has particularly informed my reporting... 
With regard to &#8212; with regard to the size of government, I accept my party&#039;s position on government as a &#8212; what we call de fide doctrine. Government should be large and in charge. That&#039;s the party&#039;s judgment. I accept it in my personal life. But I refuse to impose it on free-marketeers and libertarians and capitalists &#8212; I just refuse to impose that on other citizens of this great country.&quot; 
 
Or she could say, a la Ryan, &quot;I don&#039;t see how a reporter can separate her reporting from her private life or from her faith in big government. My faith in government informs me in everything I do. My faith informs me about how to report on any topic:  jobs, debt, defense, healthcare, immigration.&quot; ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have made the same observations over the last 2 decades or longer. The media is vying to become part of the Power Elite, rather than report and inform the public on the actions of the banks, corporations, IMF and others that would prefer we all be chipped and controlled. There is no honor in the journalistic process any more. Eroded by self-interest and diluted by the Internet and instant, unconfirmed information streams - today there is no bastion of truth that might lead to justice. Unfortunately, most normal citizens have been brainwashed to actually believe the media tells the truth.  ]]></description>
