Damn good video. Thanks.

but the media has a liberal bias!!!!!!!!!111!!1!1!!!1!11!!!!

Dreadfully short on any real substance. (Sure, most news media suffers the same shortcoming, but that doesn't excuse it.) A more convincing argument might trace the money that supports news organizations back to the parent corporations, and through them to their various other interests.

Reverend Ted, that got me thinking. What if there actually was a list like that? You know, something that showed which companies exactly fund which networks. I poked around a little for some corporate sponsor lists, but didn't turn anything up.

Seriously though, wouldn't it be nice to watch the news with the interests each network was protecting in the back of your mind?

That last quote from Donahue:
"I think the idea of creating a television news source that is not beholden to corporate interests is nirvana"

is actually on the brink of coming true in the form of The Real News Network.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Great post - viva la revolucion, and I hope VideoSift can play some part in it. The more we are Sifting, the less we are using our TVs.

I used to be a TV addict - I've been clean for the last 3 years.

Not very convincing. I think I need a shinier tin foil hat to accept all of this so matter-of-factly. I'm sure there's some truth to the things being said but a lot of it is countered by the fact that the people in media are not always heartless, idiotic drones. They could say exactly what their advertisers or government want them to say, but they would lose credibility among their peers and the public.

I too found it very unconvincing. It's not that I don't agree with what it says, it just says it in such a way to have nothing to back it up, nothing to convince you it's telling the truth, or anything that would sway someone who didn't believe that the mainstream media is completely useless at telling the 'truth'

Updoc - Can't wait to see the third one.

still no part three...
oh well

what's "updoc"? oooooh...I feel embarrassed.

is there a "no shit" channel that this can get crammed into? how about "self aggrandizing circle jerk"? the media sucks everyone knows it and has moved past it, the problem is that most people get their news and information from cracked.com instead of npr.org
