LOL The main stream media is bought and paid for. Even Goebbell's didn't own the press as completely as the Democratic Party does.

Just one problem with that, ugo. I've listened to conservative talk radio for YEARS, and they have a lot of the same sponsors from show to show, but they do NOT all agree on many things, including who they like for POTUS. Actually, I don't remember the people I listen to actually endorsing ONE candidate. They endorse conservative ideas over liberal ideas, some are more libertarian leaning than others, etc. They do NOT all say the same things, even though they have a lot of the same sponsors.

Selling advertising on television and radio entertainment has been around for as long as television and radio have been around. Is this news to you? Or are you one of those lefties who can't tell the difference between news and entertainment?

LOL!! When I hear Levin or any of them "talk" an ad in to their regular talk I am 100% aware they are advertising. Most people are smart enough to know advertising (and understand advertising $$$$) when we hear it.

Were you aware those syndicated columnists were getting paid by the previous administration to push agendas and write favorable pieces?

Were you aware that the last administration left office on January 20th 2009? Which would be 2 1/2 years ago.

You are right, and I am aware of that,but I was just trying to make the point it is not always so obvious when it is a paid endorsement.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Since I don't watch television, it's of no import to me, and has no impact on me.
