Does Corporate Media Systematically Fool You?



A list of Washington State troops
Killed in our recent wars launched
Through news misinforation

More proof, were any needed, that our major news channels systematically misinforms us:
* Voters Say Election Full of Misleading and False Information by WorldPublicOpinion.org
*The Lies That Fox News Viewers Believe (citing a NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll)
* Misperceptions, the Media and the Iraq War"
I found these at Alternet but posted each separately so you may avoid Alternet's biases (if any).
You may be asking yourself, "Why would corporate-owned media systematically fool us into believing what the corporations that own them want us to believe?" ... and I'm sure you see the answer right inside the question.

Fortunately, we don't have to stick with the corporate media anymore. Turn off your TV, go find information for yourself!

As Frank Zappa put it:

"I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That's right, folks
Don't touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go
I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go"
--- lyrics by Frank Zappa
