All you need to do is go back to the Communications Act of 1996 supported by the Clintons. Last night was a thank you from corporate media to the Clintons.

Just for jollies I checked the first 10 pages of Google’s image search, and damn if I can find a picture of John McCain wearing a freaking flag pin. Let’s ask him why.

Like many I have emailed ABC. I also donated to the Obama campaign for the first time EVER. I reached the tipping point when Charlie turned to Hillary and say “I don’t think Sen. Obama answered my question”.

I miss Peter Jennings.

Do people really expect high priced celebrity pundits, whose paycheck is signed by corporate media honco’s and whose paycheck is dependent on their not understanding things they should understand, to moderate meaningful debates that actually inform the electorate? Gibson and Stephanopolus are members of the “inner circle” of the Courtesan Class, celebrities motivated by ego and the pathological desire to please their masters. If either Obama or Clinton are to be elected it will be up to the blogoshper to provide the necessary information to the American electorate. The corporate media is a lost cause until the media corporations are broken up and the “Fairness Doctrine” is reintroduced. Until then, expect more of the same from the media.

ABC web sites usually prevent my posts, or remove them after a short while.

So I am making it a practice to post those same comments in other places.

Here is what I tried to send to ANC News this morning:

Horrific “hit job” on Obama last night. Fortunately for America, “Charles” and George got hit by their own bullets.

It’s not that I think of George or “Charles” as intellectual journalists in the first place. But what I find reprehensible is the effect such trash-talking and insinuating questions by suppossed reputable journalists will have on the on-going election campaign dialogue.

With our economy, environment, and Constitution under seize from more than one quarter, to be asking inane, insulting questions such as the wearing of U.S. flag lapel pins as a marker of patriotism will surely become a classic case study in the role of corporate mass media’s role in the demise of our ability to arrive at any kind of consensus in solving the epic issues confronting the U.S., and the world.

“Charles” and George have made it into American folklore as the avatars of what happens when corporations decide who they want elected, and on what basis those leaders will be selected.

Shame on them both. I will now watch David Gregory at 6:30 PM. (I have never taken George S. seriously so I already find him irrelevant to my getting my news.)

I can watch opposing views being expressed in a civil manner. I will not abide an attempted political massacre by the corporate hired guns.

Remember to contact your local ABC affiliate today.

And the shows syndicated on your local ABC affiliate to explain why you won’t watch anymore

And….

you get the idea. Viral blowback must continue.

Interesting…on the front of my Saturn, I have a picture of my family, a US flag, the Evangelical Christian bible, a picture of George Bush/Ronnie Raygun/God, a swastika, the RNC logo, a plastic rifle, all because I want to prove everyday that I love America more than my neighbors, see?

Spit.

What a bunch of fake patriots we have in our country. Next they’ll tell us we’ll have to wear red armbands to show our patriotism! Assholes.

Okay, going to work now. :-)
