I noted during Obama's campaign, where talking heads completely reversed what he stood for as evidence by his voting record, and his no votes and abstaining on issues We The People needed REPRESENTATION on, that one news source pointed out that the media had made as much in that sElection alone, then they had in the past 10 sElections combined.
So why don't we get truthful news from the Main Stream media? Cause we're not monetarily making them part of the .01%, and those that are, won't give them money if they tell us what we need to hear to make good choices FOR US.

Nearly $20 million in Florida. It's clear that the media are the real winners in 2012. The Supreme Court's Citizens United decision gave the wealthiest 1 percent unchecked power to pick and choose our nation's leaders. And they're doing it by spending tens of millions of dollars on televised political ads that leave voters awash in misinformation. So what's the broadcast media doing about it? Instead of exposing this runaway spending and separating fact from fiction in an election year, they're lining their pockets with the winnings -- to the tune of more than $3 billion dollars in 2012 ad buys. [2]Put broadcasters on notice: Don't keep viewers in the dark about election money and issues. Free Press has launched a new initiative to expose the ways in which big-money politics and broadcast media are poisoning democratic discourse. Our new report, Citizens Inundated, sheds light on how broadcasters rake in massive profits from political ads without fully disclosing the moneyed interests funding these misleading television spots. Citizens Inundated calls on the FCC to mandate that broadcasters disclose the deep-pocketed funders behind this torrent of misinformation. They can do this by placing records of all political-ad spending online and requiring fuller disclosure in the body of the ads themselves. Our report also looks at ways in which broadcasters' news programs can do a far better job of informing viewers in an election year. This is just the first step in a larger election-year initiative. Throughout 2012 we'll alert you to ways we can work together to get our democracy back on course. Start fighting back today. [3]Demand that broadcasters expose the money trail and cover election-year issues. We're asking you to join us and put the largest TV conglomerates on notice. Demand better disclosure from the companies controlling local stations across the country. We have a historic opportunity this year to advance reforms that will nurture a media of, by and for the people. Take action and then read Citizens Inundated to learn more about our plan to fix the media in 2012. Thank you, -- Candace, Tim and the rest of the Free Press team P.S.
