ABC News and the fury of voters

Well, the voters and citizens have spoken, and I believe put the Big Corporate Media on notice about their ReTHUGlican and Fake News Channel (FNC) bias in commentary. I've just read the LA Times story on view outrage over the contempt that Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos displayed towards the two serious candidates to be the next leader of our country. Seems that even though the Village idiots in Washington DC's cocktail weenie circuit are trying very hard to follow the standard Party line on the election, but us pesky Democratic netroots activists and ordinary voters are paying attention in this election. Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama may be making various stumbles in the run up to the Pennsylvania primary, but the sheer amount of interest their campaigns have generated nationwide makes the prevailing Big Corporate Media narrative, controlled by only five media companies (when did we become Italy?) a little tough.

I suspect we will have to pay close attention to the net neutrality issue in the coming months. Right now, with everyone paying attention to politics (horrors! ordinary citizoyens paying attention to politics! Will the Washington Village recover?) the customary narrative does not play well. When it is only us DFH and the rightwing blowhards paying attention, BCM gets away with it. Now, with a failed occupation of two Islamic countries about to completely blow up in our faces, the economy failing because guess what - we have oil company parasites running our country and notice that the price of a barrel of oil has gone up from $25 a barrel to now over $117 a barrel. Hmmm. Were'nt we supposed to be securing an oil supply with this war (only idiots believed that we invaded for WMDs, and now we're concerned with Iraqi democracy? PLEASE!).

The nonregulated part (thanks, ReTHUGlicans and Ronnie Raygun) financial sector is imploding in front of us, and it's dragging the rest of us completely down with it. With the dollar so weak, US manufacturing should be firing up great guns, 'cause that's always been our strong point, eh? Oops! "Business-friendly" trade policies and so-called 'free trade' agreements (read: rape the American worker) have destroyed our capability to essentially get ourselves out of this mess. Heck, Indiana and Texas are selling their highways to foreign companies for decades in order to get a little cash now.

So, am I bitter? Yes I am, and I like a candidate who will speak to that bitterness. My country is faltering, and the end of the American era is coming nigh, and those zitbrains Gibson and Stephanopoulos are concerned about Reverend Wright? It's time the FCC tore apart BCM and returned it to being news of importance, instead of tabloid gossip.
