CNN: Con News Network

I did not catch the entire Nevada Democratic Debate yesterday, but it was VERY clear to me how much of it was being manipulated by CNN. The corporate media usually does a better job of concealing the amount of rigging that is involved. Not so this time.

Let's start with the first and foremost obvious manipulation: Why was Gravel not there?? What right does MSNBC and CNN have to decide for the American public to shut a truly different voice up?

Second, You can clearly see how much focus on covering Clinton before, during, and after the debate. It was never about what Clinton Said, what Obama Said, What Kucinich Said, What Biden Said. It was about what Clinton said and didn't say. How Edwards attacked Clinton because she is a woman and how she wasn't on top of her game. Just look at how much coverage she gets related to the other candidates.

Third, why don't people such as Kucinich and Biden ever get to speak?? Why are all the questions targeted to the top three candidates while the rest of them, again, ones that actually have a unique and a different prospective get to speak?

The reason is very simple. Hillary is a corporate mouth piece and her principles are on sale for whoever pays the highest price. She is a darling of the corporate world and of the corporate media because she'll go along with whatver they believe is popular. She is indeed the best candidate to take both sides of an issue and not blink while doing it. She is very much part of the old guard, and thus she will do everything stays business-as-usual in DC. Actually, what she will do is make some minor changes that will be highly applauded by her party, but nothing too drastic as to make any real change in this country.

The election has already been decided by the corporate Media, Big Business, and other powerful interests. No matter what the person who gets elected looks like and which side of the republocratic party he/she belongs, he/she will be the same person; one who puts corporate and rich peoples' interest aheard of those the remaining 98% of the american public, and one that will go on funding was.
