- Congress Is Giving Away the Internet, and You Won't Like Who Gets It
- President Hu can’t suppress dissent in the United States like he does in China, but the Bush adminstration is helping out where it can.

- Any self-respect left at the BBC?
- Telecom reform moves forward - House panel OKs measure favored by phone companies.
- It's not the occasional concealed ads posing as news that we should worry about, but the deceptive information and usual drivel we see day after day and night after night that calls itself news.
- The conduct of our current crew of mass media charlatans has often been compared to the yellow journalism that ignited the Spanish/American war of 1898. But with the Iraq conflict we have a new combustible ingredient: yellow think tanks. When the pundits of the American Enterprise Institute speak, the New York Times listens... - "The evidence that we are filing supports our claim that AT&T is diverting Internet traffic into the hands of the NSA wholesale, in violation of federal wiretapping laws and the Fourth Amendment..."
- She explained that if I kept doing this-- writing inflammatory stuff, then... and she wasn't very clear what... but definitely something, would happen or develop. - Bilderberg Meetings; Trilateral Commission; CFR Members - ...this placing of matter and antimatter in such close proximity did not even result in the newsreader batting an eyelash. - An exposé by the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) and Free Press reveals that corporate propaganda has infiltrated local television news across the country. - ...Katie Couric, CFR member, will leave NBC and head for CBS, where she will be an "anchorwoman," managing editor, and the "new homecoming queen of news," or rather government script reading.
- The Mockingbird still goes TWEET-TWEET-TWEET....

- ...high-level members of CNN management advised the producers of the show to "kill it." This statement was clearly made to stifle any further coverage of 9/11 despite the admitedly huge ratings boost and response garnered from the recent coverage of Charlie Sheen's statements on 9/11.
- The media certainly weren't skittish about pictures of the tsunami victims. Or the bloated corpses of Rwanda. Or abandoned bodies floating in the streets of New Orleans. Editors and producers had no problem with those bodies. Their only problem is with bodies in Iraq. - CNN, and its equally empty colleagues at Fox, ABC, NBC, and CBS, have helped the White House convince Americans that the nation's most dangerous enemy is an Iraqi rebel, or an al Qaeda terrorist. But that's a lie, and most professional reporters aren't dummies; they must know it's a lie. - The corporate media is not controlled by anyone; they are the tool of the controllers.
- We already know that the Pentagon is committed to the policies of deception and misinformation.

- Who writes this shit? And who, exactly, is expected to believe it? - In short, the Sunday talk shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC are dominated by conservative voices, from newsmakers to commentators - The corporate media exists to serve the status quo, not to inform the people, as is widely assumed by its consumers.

- The curious (and absolutely intentional) omission of Israel from the article has an obvious effect on the central conclusion of the article.
- The Pentagon is laying the groundwork for privatizing the internet so the information-revolution can be transformed into an information-tyranny, extending to all areas of communications and serving the exclusive interests of a few well-heeled American plutocrats.
- The same people who brought us the Iraq war as show business and "The Rescue of Jessica Lynch" as truth, and who keep bringing us coverage of the White House as public relations, now bring us the Olympics as a two-week commercial for American power.
- The government concluded its "Cyber Storm" wargame Friday, its biggest-ever exercise to test how it would respond to devastating attacks over the Internet from anti-globalization activists, underground hackers and bloggers. Bloggers? - The Times has proved once again that the elite-media is a steadfast partner in mobilizing the masses for an unpopular war. Even though countless thousands of innocent people have already been killed by the Time’s reckless reporting and specious fear-mongering on Iraqi WMD, the editors continue to use the corporate bullhorn to call the nation to arms.
- The first steps in a move to charge for every e mail sent have already been taken.

- How has the Pentagon and the CIA, together with its friends in Israel, managed to stir a clash between Moslems and the West? - Some of the biggest advertisers are taking their advertising away from full page ads and television spots and spending up on hidden persuasion.

Subliminal advertising has gone mainstream - fake news, mind control scripts, propaganda and stealth voicemail are in wide use by corporations, government bodies, and industry groups. - He has obviously fallen prey to the epidemic of Beltway coziness that has turned far too many in the MSM into toothless house cats curled at the feet of those in power.
- This is all part and parcel of the mind control. The image is king. The image is the reality. There is no person. There is no president. Nobody is there. Only the image.
