Conspiracy and the Press...

[Arrow]

Yes, I not only believe it, I know it for certain that huge conglomerates own and operate and, yes, control through their management and producers (and our FCC) every single word we hear and image we see. It's called propaganda. Ask any war correspondent what happens to their reports after they are written

Mike put this up under the Wall thread but I would like to answer the statement here.

If one will just walk through their local library, Library of Congress, or a university library,Visit Barnes and Noble, or Borders, go on line with a good search engine they will find that we are the most wide open society in the world concerning freedom of the press.

We have the greatest opportunity in the world to question everything that is presented to us via news channels outlets if we are not lazy.

I'm stunned when educated people are of the mindset that there is no freedom of the press. I would hope we would not pass this mindset on to our younger generation. I would rather see them encouraged to ask questions and find their answers through diligent research and to seek both sides of the question before settling on a conclusion.

I have never oncefailed to find the resources I needed when researching a question be it political, religious, historical, or any social issue. I'm almost sixty years old(next year Keith) and I have not seen a decrease in knowlege available but a huge increase.Ifeel very blessed to have lived my life in a placewhere I can think my own thoughts and get my own answers. If there is thoughtcontrol in this countrythey missed my mind completely.

Just my thoughts...
