(and I do mean Right.) Have you read it's editorials? Have you seen the headlines it headlines? Have you read the comments from that overly-severe troll lurking under the bridge of every self-serving headline? Your voice is the tree falling in the woods. Jello Biafra said: "Don't hate the media, become the media." Well becoming the media takes money. Money comes from the same people who decry regulation, taxes and big government but rejoice when government (and our taxes) bails them out of their deregulated bad deals and real-estate boondoggles of their own making. Guess who they vote for? Guess where they put their money to get others to vote for? Certainly not in media that calls them to task. I have no trust that the truth will be heard above the din of noise. Truthiness and money win. Most of the rest of us lose. Chase, you do realize who’s bandwith you’re posting on, right?
