Hey, man. What are you doing with those important facts that people really ought to know? Don't you know this country is all about missing teenagers and gay marriage bans?

Such a silly, informed citizen.

Jesus, how can any conservative support someone - and they all seem to fiercely support this fool - anyone who borrows just under $72,000,000 a day?

What the fuck kind of conservatism is that?

Worst. President. Ever.

Hey you stupid liberal. This is clearly another ploy from the liberal media to make the Second Coming's administration look bad. If you adjust for inflation, W only borrowed three quarters of the Presidents combined! Not "all" of them! Liberals always distort the facts!

I dunno, I'm trying to play devil's advocate, but I seriously don't understand why people support this guy. I also can't imagine a Democrat borrowing and spending this much money and being supported by "conservatives." Go figure.

Liberal media?!You're kidding me, right? You actually think the American Mass Media is Liberal?! Dear Lord, where have you BEEN for the last 50 years?

American media is largely filtered and distorted, and fits Chomsky's propoganda model every time. Do some research before you made a stupid statement like "liberal media".

Chomsky's propoganda model? You're right!

Their theory is that, contrary to Bolshevik-style political commissars, "free" societies like the bourgeois democracies rely on less overt and obvious (but even more insidious) forms of censure to keep unwanted ideas out of the popular consciousness. The end result of this filtering process is to reduce popular dialogue to a wafer-thin "consensus," representing the attitudes of the power elite who run our society. Everything else is considered "beyond the pale" or simply never discussed at all. This method has been in practice for many decades.


SIZE, OWNERSHIP, AND PROFIT ORIENTATION OF THE MASS MEDIA: THE FIRST FILTER
THE ADVERTISING LICENSE TO DO BUSINESS: THE SECOND FILTER
SOURCING MASS MEDIA NEWS: THE THIRD FILTER
FLAK AND THE ENFORCERS: THE FOURTH FILTER
ANTICOMMUNISM AS A CONTROL MECHANISM: THE FIFTH FILTER

I'm reading "Manufacturing Consent" right now, its fascinating stuff. The Case Studies especially.

I found a very interesting site about how these propaganda models can/can't apply to the internet.
