Gary,
Glad to hear you think so highly of FAIR.
Of course, that group isn't biased, are they? They're about as balanced as
AIM.

BS - Who hires professional people? The management. Who hires the
management? The owners do. Who are the owners? Some of the largest
transnational companies in the world. What do they have to gain by
controlling the media? Almost no bad press coverage concerning them OR the
companies they have ties or investments with. No press about how they are
unilaterally changing world business to meet there interests. Almost no
press about the monopolization of telecommunications, media and oil
business. What we see is SO filtered. How often do you hear statistics on
how many cigarettes RJR is giving to children in third world countries?
Nearly zero. Why is that not in our face EVERY day? MAIN CNN HEADLINE
scrolling. Like a ticker symbol. It is abominable. But they know that you
have to hook someone on cigarettes by age 20 or you can forget it. They know
that American critical thinking is diminished, the population is getting old
and are easy to scare.
