News aggregaters are not necessarily a bad thing. Drudge is basically a news aggregator and even some left leaning news people will check his page out for things. Saves some footwork. I've seen stuff on the Telegraph I wouldn't have expected to find there. Problem is that much of our mass media has become propaganda machines. They like their bread buttered by big business and not the public. I don't like to be too ideological about the news and since Obama has been in office some liberals brains have turned to mush. They were much sharper when Bush was in office. And there are plenty of left leaning folks who are pointing out some profiteering from climate disruption. We should do what we can to produce pollution and excess CO2 omissions. Most of the right fears that carbon taxes will be levied on the general public. That wouldn't good either. They're supposed to be corporate thing and looks a bit like a scam. Here in California they have encouraged us for years to buy hybrids and electric cars. Oops, they just figured out those vehicles don't pay much in taxes at the gas pump so now they are proposing a mileage tax. Maybe they should stop using the gas pump taxes for things other than highways which they do even though we passed a proposition they should ONLY use it for highway development and maintenance.
