What is this?
Have you bought or sold your liberty?
Published Tuesday, October 27, 2009
A clever point raised by corporate media: So long as a free media exists, we remain free.
How “free” is our media? When linked to high finance it becomes less free, and so too us. And, thus, when will the submissive public become free of corporate media financiers? When will we be free of linear media repetition? When will we be freed from political media sandbox games?
The “too big to fail” financial feudal lords represent our lack of freedom. The mindless parroting of national media pundits chains the public mind. The illusion of political choice keeps the herd distracted and ignorantly satisfied.
The defenders of liberty will be but outlaws, so long as a horde of knaves shall rule.
Contrary to popular belief, the American public becomes less free with each passing day, much due to fear, greed, complacency — and ratings/revenue-based biased media. Who among us can claim ownership of individual thought, thought not sieved by corporate media? He who buys or sells his liberty becomes a slave.
In what manner did you buy or sell a piece of your liberty today?

Patrick, as a socialist you have a lot of questions, would you mind giving your readers some answers to those questions? I'll be waiting.

I do not pretend to know all the answers as do the sandbox punks. You look for answers not knowing the questions.
I ask questions to inspire other questions, and original thought. But from the above comments the land appears barren and layed waste.
Only truthful solutions can arise from well thought out questions.
It is sad to witness minds being bought and sold via media. The media(and its financiers) appreciate the mass of anatoms under its power.
The current recession is perfect proof of a lost deluded public. The financiers advertised and sold their lies via media to an unsuspecting greedy public.
Now the public cries foul, blaming others for their own stupidity.
Modern media is a financiers echo chamber. And the public parrots vommit this garbage with each and every squawk. Attached at the hip(or cranium) to media, the public has lost its will and freedom
Are there treasured liberties within yet not for sale?.....or liberties of others that have not bids attached? If so, not for long. The financiers need more souls.

The liberties that we lose will be caused by the policies and legislation of our President and a Democratic controlled congress. Our economy will not make any rapid improvement until they feel they have squandered enough stimulus and legislation on pork.

trifid:
"You look for answers not knowing the questions."
Your questions are like urinating into the wind, some of which blow back on you.
"It is sad to witness minds being bought and sold via media."
Very true, witness NBC.
You try in vain to be cerebral but fall short in your wisdom, again if you have questions you must have solutions whether right or wrong. Quit playing in the sandbox.

Deny, deny, deny. The public remains ignorant so long as it denies its mistakes, much like the alchoholics and druggies....and politicians.
bornFree mirrors the attitude and behavior of the vast majority who need "sides" in debating, while ignoring the tough questions plagueing all. Who can deny the erosion of ethics in this country. It is convenient argueing the garbage presented by media and finance, which is exactly what those puppeteers want, while ignoring the monsters that feed us all. To choose one pile of garbage over another is even less than the worms.
The insideous need to be "right" at the risk of hypocracy. No need to look to Washington, the media, etc for hypocracy and corruption. They are more home grown than the self- deluded public will admit.

I think we just discovered one of those home-grown hypocrites.
