PhxDragon's Blog

The rumor mill has already fired up to high gear and is freely flowing. Turns out the stories are just that, stories. I expected nothing less from the desperate Obama supporters.

Phoenix, you are correct. The blogger on DailyKos is a Newsweek employee and he runs that blog. There is an agenda these days by the MSM to control what the general public sees,reads and hears. The agenda is to brainwash the minds of those that don't have access to other sources. There are still vast areas of the country that doesn't have internet and they only get MSM on the TV and Fox I might add. But the MSM villianizes FOX as an arm of George Bush and for that reason many people will not watch it. So what are they left with, Gannett controls most newspapers, Time has a lock on many printed magazines and CBS,NBC and ABC are all in the pot for Obama. It is a concerted effort by George Soros and Huffignton and many Hollywood types to fund and control what we get on the news. Regards,

Murdoch's agenda in the UK alone has included union-busting, pushing first capitalism in China (i.e. his right to make money) than a reversal to a softer stance on communism in return for the right to own media there. He has done nearly everything possible to undo the BBC. The New York Times even said "Rupert Murdoch is Britain's most powerful non-Briton. His media outlets are so influential that critics charge him with single-handedly destabilizing the monarchy and snatching the elections." Does Murdoch have an agenda? Possibly, I guess, but I'm not going to cross that line. In the Fall of '2003 Murdoch was threatened by a possible action of Congress that limited the coverage of one Corporation with several outlets to 35% of American households, which meant he would have to sell off some of his holdings. (He was at 39%) He put his lobbyists and lawyers to work, and voila, Congress changed the percentage to 39%. Personally, I think it's a bit dangerous for one man to have this much control on the entire media, from TV to magazines to newspapers to production studios etc. And just for kicks, he also owns MySpace.com, National Geographic Channel, and DirectTV.

Nice biography jteam, while he may be what you say I just don't see him doing the same things the liberal media is doing. I don't see the outright lies about Democrat candidates like the KOS and Huffington who are funded by another very wealthy person, George Soros. And if you follow FOX National they make a point to have both sides give their views and commentaries. I don't see the same level of fairness on the other MSM stations. And how cares what someone owns if he runs them in a professional manner. All the businesses he owns have good reputations.

Jteam I agree, that is one of the nice things about these blogs. It allows the common folk a media of our own. And as long as what is posted by us and WE keep responsible then the heck with the MSM. I think there are some on here that present great pieces, and the banter gets good and sometimes too overboard but we still get our say most times.
