On November 16th join the nationwide march against mainstream media. The media is here for US, to keep Us informed. It's about time that they started reporting on the important issues that the people should know about. We need to demand an end to the mind numbing nonsense that's meant to keep our population asleep. Join us: https://www.facebook.com/events/355830311228387/?ref=ts&fref=ts
Media is a business, not a public service paid for by taxes. Media companies report what people want to hear. A media company that deviates from that will not remain in business very long and will do no reporting whatsoever.
Are you underestimating how malleable the viewing public actually are? Lead them and they shall follow, in other words.
Media entities are private property. They serve the will of their owners. OP, you are delusional in thinking that they have any obligation to do anything "the people" want. Also, calling them "mainstream" is propagating the very meme by which they do what you protest. Anon #2 is somewhat correct, in that a media entity with no audience is useless, and nobody is (yet) forced to subscribe or watch or read any particular media offering, so there is at least some degree of market success required, which in turn requires at least some degree of giving people "what they want to hear". However, it's becoming increasingly obvious that that doesn't mean giving you what you want. The Old so-called Mainstream Media are dying, along with their captured, ossified audience of blue-haired Tom Brokaw idolizers. Their owners can't give you what you want, since that would ruin what they want. So... if you don't like what they do, don't waste your time pestering their minions about it. They won't change, because they can't. So let them go. Find an honest media entity and join it, or start your own. Be for something. For illumination, I suggest the story of Amber Lyon.
Wouldn't that just piss these morons off, to have a thousand Anons turn up. I'd love to see that Motherfuckery
Ultimately, that's true. We can each choose where we look for news and info, and we can change those choices at any time.
6430 sunset blvd los angeles ca is CNN. So you guys are protesting CNN. Bad journalism is running press releases or crap from the Moonie-owned Washington Times as actual news reports. Fox is probably the worst offender. CNN might be one of the better ones. I think I hate you guys but I am not sure.
Oh be sure you let the cops know about your protest or you may get vanned. http://articles.latimes.com/2013/ju...in-protesters-gather-in-front-of-cnn-20130715
Oh I get it now. It's a Republican operation meant to look like grass roots cool kids against "the system." http://www.rageagainstthemedia.org/events/past-events/

Well, yes. However, that's a wart on the butt of the actual problem. Look into who owns/controls the media in the first place and find out what they want. There's an assumption of neutrality which most of us seem to unquestioningly make instead of checking the actual dox with an open mind. Visualize being upset about Operation Snow White infiltrating the US gummint, but not being concerned about the gummint itself. Yeah, it's a little bit like that.
Can the date be taken out of the title of this thread? I think it's a good topic and the date makes it seem irrelevant.
