Mellow mood, I feel exactly the same way. Even many self-proclaimed liberals really dont ever question capitalism or corporate influence in government. Just look at the "the Daily Show with Jon Stewart". What a phony! He talks about the state of the press and blasts Republicans everyday, but look at his guests. Most of them are not surprisingly, hollywood celebrities. I never see Noam Chomsky or Howard Zinn appear on the show. Its just about ratings. When doesnt he ever criticize Israel for its terrorist acts? If hes so upset about the press than why the fuck doesnt he do anything about it? Because the corportate controlled media benefits him and fills his pockets with millions. (he knows this, and thats why he never really explains why the press is so bad).
