MEDIA CONTROLLED BY GOVERNMENT? [+] serious ballot by Kev24 ACTIVE Wed Sep 12, 07 - Sat Sep 15, 07 this is follow up to a previous ballot on government control of the news media. some people believe that somehow the american government and perhaps other governments control the news media. how? it's virtually impossible in most countries. even in china their government finds it's a losing battle. even if a government tried to control the meida, in an open society, they could never succeed. in a country like the united states, there is a massive foreign press corp. major cities like washington d.c, nyc, los angeles, chicago, etc. have foreign press offices. so wouldn't that mean that the government would control them? then there's foreign news programs on television. you can get foreign news from almost every country -- china, russia, the uk, italy, poland, australia. you name it. what about the internet? no on controls that sucker. you can go to any foreign news site and sites like drudgereport link directly to forein press. what about reuters for example. it's a major news service and newsflash -- it's not even american! so if you believed the u.s government controlled the news, how do you explain away all of this? if the government controlled the news, you'd never read or here anything bad about the government. ha! that's all we do hear. political allegiance. so how would, lets say, a republican administration control news media if that news organization is more liberal. or vice versa. next question -- for those that believe that absurd conspiracy theory, answer the question of which part of the goverment controls the news? our government is huge. so which agency controls it and under whose direction? if you can explain away what i show here, have at it. but i'll tell you, there is so much news flowing into this country every hour, there is no way the goverment could control it. no goverment can. of course it's absurd to believe the government controls the news wai! i am pre-programmed to believe stupid conspiracy theories! i'll comment below Ballot #118318 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
