Take back your mind from the MSM
I like most of us here have been streaming the convention from a number of online, commercial free sources.

I see the posts that talk of asshats from M$NBC, CNN, and Faux putting their foots in their mouthes or saying purely infantile nonsense.

Today's MSMeme is that Obama is too popular. He's surrounding himself in the Barackopolis at Invesco Field tonight. In a competition where the object is to get more people to support you than your competition, is there a such thing as too popular? Doesnt "too popular" equate with "landslide victory"?

McBush I suppose will be accepting his party's nomination in the Airport Ramada Twin Cities Lounge.

I cannot wait till the MSN awakening that has taken place in here in regards to the pitiful corporate bias of the media takes root in mainstream America. We have realized that in order to get the news we must seek it out and not allow ourselves to be spoon fed whatever our corporate fascist masters deem fit for our consumption.

It is also very clear to me that we must secure the freedom of the internet to allow people to access the straight dope and not allow the most radical and liberal tool be turned off or turned into something manipulated by the same people who have spoiled television and most radio sources.

3. I cannot help but think that
so many of the MSM talking heads must develop a "God complex" -- which they would never admit, of course -- once they realize they aren't really reporting the news, but instead creating the news. Forming it as they see fit. Once they realize how easily they can make an unsuspecting public believe night is day or that day is night.
