Corporations

I was not old enough to watch, much less understand the impact of the McCarthy hearings in the 50’s but I know to this...

Each weekday, MSNBC creates 5 original hours of Conservative-hosted shows and 7 original hours of Progressive-hosted shows so of its hours of partisan programming, 42% are Conservative and only 58% are Progressive.

In politics, the media or business, an unspoken rule seems to be that accomplishing one's proprietary goals necessarily means discarding the quaint notion of being influenced by one's own conscience.

Bill Clinton has repeatedly put self-gratification above the best interest of the people and that is reflected even today in his throwing Obama under the train to protect those who are driven in limos.

GOP PACs are preparing to spend more than $1 Billion to win control of the White House, the Senate, more state legislatures and governor’s mansions, and to hold the House of Representatives and the state governments they already control.

One thing that America greatly values is its free press...which is why its been locked up in a safe that's hidden miles below the Earth's surface. Filling in for it, we have a corporatized Mainstream Media which looks just like the real thing only less filling.

Romney's ideal America is one where the wealthy buy their own White House and Congress, tax revenues are rerouted from the poor, elderly and majority into the pockets of the wealthy and all regulations that prevent the wealthy from harming the public are removed.

Romney says corporations should be able to marry, gun manufacturing corporations should be allowed to have shotgun weddings, the energy industry deserves to have a nuclear family if they so choose and competing corporations should have the moral right to get into bed with each other.

Is this a case of the media creating an exploitative story for financial and/or political benefit or were they just doing their job and holding a politician's feet to the fire?

What does that do to the Petri dish of American society when injustice is virulent? Doesn't it create an ideal breeding ground for the kind of racism, intolerance, chauvinism and venomous "debate" that has become so mainstream today?
