Poll question: MSM Best Political Caricature - April 2008
The MSM (Main Stream Media) is famous for helping the American people choose their leaders. :sarcasm: One way they do this is by selling us a 'caricature' of a newsworthy person, rather than informing us about who the person really is... their history, accomplishments, experience and goals.

So, just for fun :7, which of the following REAL people has been most irresponsibly caricatured this month? Feel free to post your thoughts. :)

3. With the exception of Bill Moyers, the corporate media didn't care about his deeds.

I also don't believe they cared about his words other than the select ones they thought pushed the envelope of the ever shrinking window of thought allowed as acceptable by the corporate media; the so called champions of the 1st Amendment.

Somebody wiser than me once said, "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".

The corporate media's new motto is "I don't agree with what you have to say and we'll due our best to punish your friends because you said it."

Edit for P.S. Personally, I believe the term mainstream media is misleading, unless their related to the mainstream river that caught fire a few decades ago.
