The National Conference for Media Reform
is an event you don't want to miss. Thousands of media reformers from across the country will converge in Memphis, Tennessee on Jan. 12-14, 2007.
There is something going on under our noses and behind our backs, concerning our media access to reliable and truthful news reporting.
The media conglomerates, mega mergers and Concentration of Ownership has greatly diminished (if not crippled altogether) our right to receive honest reporting of US and World happenings. You may wonder why this has been allowed to happen. In a word, PROFITS.
Local news is disappearing and in it's place are large corporate media giants that will give you only one side of the events from around the globe and locally. Corporate media headquarters will be peddling, what they want you to believe and convince you how to behave. Whether it be to hate, love war, scandal mongering of their opponents, or whatever is in their best interests, you will only hear and see what they want you to digest. A one sided bias account of faux bulletins. This is how they control, this is how they retain power and this
is how they sustain enormous profits.
Their goals are to ensure that the 'great beast', as Alexander Hamilton called the people (the masses) does not stray from their proper confines -- paraphrased from Noam Chomsky's book
HEGEMONY OR SURVIVAL--
by Noam Chomsky
Metropolitan Books
2003
Noam Chomsky's latest book, "Hegemony or Survival," presents a view of American foreign policy, which lies in stark contrast to that depicted by corporate media, popular pundits, and US heads of state. With the fall of the Soviet Union, the US has emerged as the preeminent superpower of the world and Chomsky dissects with meticulous research how the United States has chosen to leverage that position to pursue an "imperial grand strategy", which will ensure itself "unilateral world domination through absolute military superiority".

Please click on the theater picture of Amy Goodman above to watch the "Democracy Now" show which touches eloquently on this very subject. And attend THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR MEDIA REFORM in January which should be an eye opening and totally entertaining event... We cannot allow them (THE GLOBALIZATION BULLIES) to keep us from the DIRTY TRUTH. thinkingblue
