Money may be just a tool, but those who wield it almost always have political agendas, and those of main stream media are mostly left, not right. Those agendas in particular have greatly influenced general opinion for several generations now. It is that mute, subversive, and unacknowledged steering of opinion that endangers the individual voice the most. Call me a hopeless optimist, /pd, but I also believe that the individual voice hasn't drowned here, and won't in future.<br>VeraVera BassFri, 01 Dec 2006 13:36:52 -0000http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2006/11/30/huffington-post-takes-on-the-media/#comment-1304861With Blogger VLogger. there is always the rogue effect. Remember Kevin Sites breaking the 301 dogs of war episode.. its become an embrassment to US?DOJ and in general America.. <br><br>MSM are always propped by either the right wing or the left wing. blues or reds.. whichever way you take it. even Huffinngton hasto make opinion and take a stand. Which side they are on is irrelvant as long as that side is top side. The moment the scales tip, is then you will see the true shift in integrity. <br><br>Yes, why, thats because shifts in perception and alignment is a game in terms of being part of the generic MSM type of content creator. <br><br>As an indivdual your still toast.. think about it.. in your current positioning. if you write something a political that goes against the grain, you will take heat... likewise if heat is coming your way, then the tone changes in a subtle way to sustain surviving.. !!/pdThu, 30 Nov 2006 15:17:17 -0000
