My dad was telling me this story of something he saw on the news Saturday
At Valley Forge on Saturday there was this huge Nazi rally. Apparently, the three local major networks, CBS, ABC, and NBC (maybe FOX too but those are the ones he mentioned), were there and covering the event. They even interviewed a top guy at the rally. He got enough airtime to make very threatening comments about when the revolution comes, there will be violence, they won't hesitate to use violence, any means necessary, that sort of stuff. That's a bit messed up.
Yea, what he said was messed up but that's not what I'm refering to. Isn't it a little odd that a Nazi can get enough airtime to make threatening remarks on T.V. but a peace protester, liberal thinker, or anti-corporate advocate can't get a fair shot at an interview or on a political talkshow. The answer to why not is obvious, to me anyway.
Those kind of people go against the agenda of those in charge of those stations. I think that most people I know recognize that by now. If you don't, there it is, in it's most simplest terms.
People who believe in the government conspiracies are usually looked down upon. They're portrayed negatively as irrational people. And sometimes, that's true. There are hundreds of thousands of mid-western, southern, and even Pennsylvanian militia members who are so in love with the idea of America and their guns. But, just because they exist along with other radical ideas doesn't mean that all radical ideas and conspiracies are false, like the corporate censored conservative media.
I guess that's my point.
