The Corporate Media...

Time to change the way the game is played.

For decades the wingnuts have been decrying the "Liberal Media".

Time to start using the truth. Time for everybody on the left to start talking about the "Corporate Media".

Time to change the frame.

Spin news, and try to demonize/glamorize/popularize, and otherwise manipulate news stories. I love to watch Maddow and gang, but it is what it is. All the media in America wants you to believe their slant.

It's eye opening to watch CNN World, BBC, and Al Jazeehra. The difference is palpable.

"Game" indeed.
