So what does Sojourner Truth have to do with this article? Read on and read click the links.
Little discussed on the airwaves, is the removal of the “Fairness Doctrine” from the FCC regulations taking place this week across America. No longer will airwaves be required to provide opposing political view points in their media broadcasts…like the Little Red Critter news stations. The efforts to “make” Little Red Critter actually report “fair and balanced” news is essentially thrown out the window by the FCC (removing completely from their regulations the “Fairness Doctrine”). We have witnessed the corporate controlled media propaganda machine indoctrinate numbers of American’s into their “ideological” thinking that has virtually driven our economy into the ditch. The “Fairness Doctrine”, abandoned under the hand of the Reagan Administration in 1987, opened the door for Little Red Critter owned companies to control election cycles with no recourse by the American people for any lies they may have been told during the campaign season. 2012 with be no less fraught with the lies then 2010, even at the local levels.
We have said it before and we will say it again: People submit to becoming sheep out of fear. With the Little Red Critter let loose to run rampant in our hens houses, we will have no choice but to participate in the fox hunt for truth. Turn off the boob tubes, search for truth on a regular basis as it is clear the we Americans will no longer get it from the mainstream media on any channel.
And now for Sojourner Truth: “Truth burns up error.”
We have been sold. Sold lies. Not just in Arkansas, but in America across the channels. The only way we have a chance to fix it is by standing up for truth dissemination.
Here is a place for you to play your part in getting the truth out!
P.S. If you have never thought about blogging before, now may just be the time that you need to do your part for Arkansas and America: Set up a diary in our “Diaries” section and report the news happening in your neighborhood. Or just opine there! The blogosphere may just be our last vestige of free speech and truth.
Excellent post. The latest example of political misinformation aided and abetted by the media:
Senators Boozman and Pryor both spread the lie that half of Americans allegedly aren’t paying taxes.
At this point, one would be forgiven for mistaking the United States for a one-party state with controlled media. Like, say the Soviet Union around 1980. Granted we have the internet and nominally free speech but that matters precious little when both political parties take their marching orders from the same powerful interests and the corporate media act like branches of the same propaganda ministry, drowning out the few voices of truth and reason.
