    Just want to say it straight, my friends - why you allow that network to stay on the air is beyond me.

    And don't be giving me the 'freedom of speech' stuff - freedom to do what ? To consistently and constantly demean your Country, and diminish its people's accomplishments, in the eyes of the World ? Portray your leaders as insane or inept no matter what they do ?

    And don't be buying that FOX is much better, either - they just go about it in a way which better serves a different audience. It's bullshit.

    You need to take a hard look my friends, and not be blindly bound by preconceived notions either, at exactly whose interests your media serves.


    And imho, it sure as hell isn't serving the best interests of your Country.

    Can't say much for the CBC. Fox news is the most honest and reliable reporting in America, though you are probably speaking about their opinion and commentary programs, which are labeled as such, unlike CNN and MSNBC.

    Agreed, but ...

    I recall pussycat remarking one time about the value of a national broadcasting system. And the ones which I have watched deliver consistently high-level programming. The CBC and BBC ? - many top notch shows and series. And I watched the magnificent Carl Sagan 'Cosmos' series on your PBS.

    The problem arises when they get into news broadcasting, because with that venture comes the inevitable slide downhill into political manipulation. And public stations, almost by definition, are decidedly left wing.

    Yes, but they are owned by their populace. So I may disagree with the CBC's viewpoints, but I am disagreeing with my own people. When your people disagree with what they're being spoon-fed, they are disagreeing with whatever entity bought up the information infrastructure that you so willingly sell off at auction.

    Those purchasers do not look after your Country's interests - they look after their shareholders interests. And in your case, the interests controlling the USA's media infrastructure lie not in your own Country, but rather they are manipulated from offshore.

    So I wonder if we might have been misinterpreting Voltaire's meaning all along !! :)

    It turns out that he never was married, though - but his long-time mistress was, and it was well-known ! And he and his niece were apparently in a secretive 'committed relationship' during which they 'adopted' a child. In writings though, he referred to himself as her parent. The possibilities for control-exercising in the midst of it all must have been endless. ! :eek:

    These are the six corporations which choose the facts which Americans should hear, and which tell Americans what their opinions should be.

    Every American should be made aware of exactly who profits from having these companies operate in their Country.

    Before he was put by his crew inside that yellow astronauts suit -
    he had a raw handshake with a chief of that "Kommunarka" hospital...
    two days later the hospital chief was tested coronavirus positive ...
    So... may be VVP / Vladimir V. Putin / is sitting in isolation right now...

    There's lots of jokes out there about Putin in that suit. Even the Moscow Times chimed in :
