Colin, sorry, but you obviously are having an understanding problem. Nothing I can post here can fix it. You don't seem able to even read what is posted without misunderstanding simple statements, and taking statements on one issue and applying it to another.

You post a poll, I post a poll, I discuss yours, you call me "obsessed" and don't even both to comment on anything. Every time any fact comes up you don't like, you just dismiss it with name calling and extremism.

You quote things to your advantage, in order to change meaning. Yes, I said the "news media is controlled by politicians", but I said it like this:

"The point has to do with the control of the news media by the politicians - not direct ownership or direct ordering, but by controlling the news cycle, they control what the american public in general sees, hears, and understands"

You make it sound like the politicians write the stories and use the newscaster as puppets, shoving their politican hands up their asses to make them puppet the party line. Wrong. I said that by controlling the news cycle, they color and control what stories are important and which ones gets buried.

However, I know you won't actually read what I just posted, rather you will pick a few words out, string them together, and laugh at the results, rather than actually considering the concepts presented. It's pointless, it's useless... your a victim and you don't know it... which makes you the best victim possible.

You may now mentally masturbate for your own benefit.

Alex
