So, okay, we have these super-rich entities like
Rupert Murdoch,
Rev. Sun Myung Moon and the billionaire Warfare profiteers like
General Electric in total
monopolistic control of the major "corporate" media to the point now where the omnipresent mass media
that saturates our airwaves and retail stores has become so
entirely worthless to point where the mix of
straighout falsehoods, half-truths, reich-wing-spin, and irrelevance has completely
overwhelmed and obliterated any faint remaining morsels of actual
fact-based reporting concerning the
true public interest of average inhabitants of America.
Simply put: the News has become a
total farce in this Country, to the point of surrealism, as evidenced by the fact that 75% of the public falsely
thought that
carpet-bombing &
occupying the defenseless & pathetic Country of
Iraq was a
valid response to addressing Theocratic-Islamic Terrorism (partly composed of CIA-sponsered "friends"). Few now trust the news anymore.
But, wait, .. there actually are such thing as super-rich progressives out there as well aren't there?
The name George Soros (billionaire philanthropist) comes to mind, but there are many, many others as well ...
Hell, if you took all the many thousands upon thousands of mega-celebrities in the entire sphere of the entertainment industry out there (from George Soros to Phil Donohue to Streisand, Norman Lear, Ted Turner, Opra-?, Redford, Reiner, Teresa Heinz, Springsteen, Martin Sheen, Bill Gates, David Bowie, Al Franken, Michael Jordan, whoever, whomever else you can think of, etc., ...) and formed an investor group & giant, giant pool of money (in the multi-billions) that would then buy out CNN, buy out USA Today, buy out of MSNBC, and even attempt a hostile (if required) takeover of FOX News -- and then put the people who can do real, investigative news reporting like Bill Moyers (PBS), Amy Goodman (Democracy Now), Greg Palast, Wayne Madsen, the folks from www.rawstory.com, www.truthout.org, etc., in charge and said: you now are totally free to report the truth, the whole truth and inform the citizens freely on all the critical issues affecting the genuine public interest -- wouldn't that then change just about everything and allow the United States to reformulate itself again back as a free & open democratic society?
The point here is that there are rich, wealthy, pro-democracy, pro-truth, pro-FDR, progressives out there too -- right?
So why can't these type of people realize that America has been devolving into a totalitarian-banana-republic and Warfare-State with these reich-wing fascist crooks running everything and get organized around the principle of rescuing the land called America from these War-criminal & economic-Pirates and use their enormous wealth to assert itself and become the corporate media?
Then we would finally learn the truth about everything -- from Voting Machines, to corrupt Redistricting schemes, to the real poverty-stricken effects of supply-side, trickle-down Taxation policy, to the state of Health Care in America, to the declining standard of living conditions, etc. and people at large would then finally be informed enough to vote the right (progressive) way (Jesus or no Jesus for christsakes) and secure their own future and that of future generations.
Why can't progressive money talk as loudly (or louder) than the reich-wing?
Virtually 90% of all the entertainment industry superstar figures & their associated mogules are progressive in their sentiment. There is a multi-billion dollar power block out there and why can't that be put to use?
We've already now have lost the entire city of New Orleans and turned it into Iraq -- while turning Iraq into a "Katrina" per-day. What next folks? -- isn't this more important than another Star Wars Blockbuster??
So simply put: Why can't the Entertainment Industry use it's enormous money to take control over it's own delivery system and thereby assure the integrity of the daily News at the same time in the process-???
We can do this ... can't we-??
