As if the Corporate Media is just going to give this shit away. Language is a powerful tool, and the Corporate Media are masters at manipulating it; that's what they do.

I'm going to try to just shut up now. ron On Dec 13, 2006, at 7:06 PM, Charles Hope wrote: > --- In [email protected], Ron Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Sorry Amanda, please don't think I'm piling on you. > > > > It's just that a straw broke the camel's back. > > > > Why must people keep talking about the MSM... > > > > As if it's mainstream! > > > > It's a Corporate Media, and there's nothing 'Mainstream' about it. > > > > Mainstream media would have 5 second commercials and freedom to > > download and distrubute. > > Let me guess.
