Liberal Rag Salon Calls For "Nationalizing The Media" To Create a Socialist Society



Imagine a world without the New York Times, Fox News, CNN, the Wall Street Journal, and countless other tools used by the 1 percent to rule and fool.
In a socialist society run by and for the working people it represents, the mega-monopolies like Walmart, Halliburton, Exxon-Mobil, and the corporations that run the tightly controlled “mainstream media” will be a thing of the past.

It’s not news that the major US media are run by and for big business, or that the major media companies are themselves big businesses. Twenty years ago, thirty corporations controlled 90 percent of US media. Today, it is a grand total of six mega-corporations—Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, CBS, and Comcast. Besides accumulating their own profits, the media are daily trumpets for the rest of the corporate world’s advertising.

If you’ve ever worked for a newspaper or magazine, you know the process of layout and design. The ads are laid out before anything else except the lead stories; the other news and feature stories are then fit between ads. “What can we find to fill this hole?” an editor will frequently shout, referring to a page where stories have not yet been designated to fill the space between the ads, thus leaving a “news hole.” Media owners’ profits do not come primarily from the money we spend to buy their publications, but from the ads inside them. While big advertisers don’t directly select what news is published, publishers, editors, and news directors know what they like and will rarely risk their disapproval.

“It would be foolish to expect objective reporting: not because journalists are bad people, but because of the economic structure of the organizations they work for,” Arundhati Roy wrote in 2011. “In fact, what is surprising is that despite all this, occasionally there is some very good reporting. But overall we have silence, or a completely distorted picture.”

Online news sources also rely on ads for their profits even more than their print-media cousins. So do the search engines and portal sites through which people gain access to them, such as Google and Yahoo!. But it’s online media that have the potential for wider than ever public participation and exchange of views."


Liberals Are Truly Insane

If there is one thing that you can depend on with Fox News, it’s that anything that ever goes wrong will be attributed to President Obama or some amorphous cabal of evil liberals. And so it is with the tribulations of New Jersey thug/governor, Chris Christie.

According to an editorial by former Republican congressman, and current Fox News contributor, John LeBoutillier, the threat to Christie’s governorship and presidential aspirations is rooted in the dastardliness of Democrats. LeBoutillier’s article, titled “Why Chris Christie will be impeached in 2014,” opines that Christie’s future is fatally hampered, not because of the nefarious activities of his closest associates, and perhaps himself, but because Democrats “know how to run a gut-cutting, down-and-dirty-if-necessary investigation against a political opponent.” In LeBoutillier’s myopic and paranoid vision Democrats are an omnipotent force of political vigilantes who have the power to collapse the Christie empire.

LeBoutillier: They know how to take aim – and then keep their eye on the target – no matter what. They know they have most of the media with them – and they thus are not afraid of “over-reach.” And they have the killer instinct that almost all Republicans lack.

Exactly! While Republicans have been politely bashing Democrats as godless socialists intent on destroying America, curtailing freedom, abetting terrorism, and undermining the nation’s financial and moral foundation, all along it has really been the Democrats who have overreached with their killer instinct.

As evidence of this assault on the poor, innocent GOP, LeBoutillier cites the creation of committees in the New Jersey legislature to investigate the budding Bridge-Gate scandal. How dare the Democrats seek to learn the truth about a major political controversy wherein a governor allegedly abused his office for payback against a political opponent. Republicans would never advocate such an inquiry aimed at Democrats – unless it had to do with the IRS and the Tea Party.

LeBoutillier advances the theory that Democrats are haranguing Christie for two reasons, neither of which is that he is suspected of having deliberately caused grave harm to millions of his constituents.

The first reason floated is that Democrats want to get back at Christie for the despicable treatment they have suffered under his leadership as governor. LeBoutillier candidly admits that Christie has been a real cad, calling Democrats “animals” and suggesting that someone should “take a bat” to the Senate Democratic leader. The second reason Democrats have for going after Christie is that they allegedly fear his candidacy for president in 2016. So obviously they somehow convinced his closest aides to embark on a monumentally stupid mission to cripple traffic and commerce so that they could pin it all on the governor. Makes perfect sense.

But here is where LeBoutillier goes off the rails. He also points out that Christie’s own party is loath to support him. Apparently they have not been treated any better than Democrats by the brutish Christie administration. LeBoutillier says that Christie…

“…has systematically bulldozed so many fellow Republicans that they are tentative and tepid in their support. For four years it has been known inside Jersey politics that if you made even the mildest criticism of the governor, he would come after you with a vengeance. Payback and punishment have become the rule over the past four years.”

Reminder: LeBoutillier is a Republican writing an editorial for Fox News. Yet this characterization of Christie affirms those who have criticized him as a bully, a charge that he and his defenders have strongly denied. LeBoutillier’s commentary reinforces the impression of Christie as someone who would participate in a scheme to seek revenge on a political foe. It aligns him with the sentiment expressed by his pal, and Port Authority executive, David Wildstein, who dismissed reservations about children being hurt by saying that it’s OK because “They are the children of Buono voters,” a reference to Barbara Buono, Christie’s Democratic opponent in the last gubernatorial campaign.

LeBoutillier concludes by saying that impeachment is inevitable and that “[Christie] does not survive in 2014.” And while he concedes that Christie has burned a lot of bridges (only figuratively, so far) among his fellow Republicans, LeBoutillier saved his harshest judgment for Democrats. This despite the fact that the only impeachment proceedings in modern times were orchestrated by Republicans in congress who targeted Bill Clinton for his personal misbehavior. There was no credible talk of impeachment of George W. Bush, even after it was certified that he invaded a country on false pretenses. And the past five years has seen numerous GOP politicians and pundits advocate the impeachment of President Obama for nothing more than because they just hate him so damn much.

Nevertheless, it is Democrats that LeBoutillier castigates as having a “killer instinct” and a determination to impeach the unfairly beleaguered governor. And by asserting that “almost all Republicans lack” those traits, he reveals a remarkable degree of tunnel-blindness and undermines any credibility he might otherwise have been afforded.

Liberals Are Truly Insane

Just one mans opinion it is an op-ed piece. At least Salon will allow all voices and opinions to be heard. Unlike that biased shithole that is faux news.

That's not true Booners. After all, the liberals have legalised marijuana in Colorado.

You couldn't get a better example of them stopping the bible bashing retarded republicans telling you what you can and cannot do.


It's YOUR mob that are the fascists.

actually he was, in its political form, not economic ones

what a brilliant system that was, turned around a country economically in no time

too bad it had to be for war and the harassment of minorities, but the socialist methodology was the right one

when you are dealing with tyrants, it can be challenging to place them on political or economic scale, since all societal issues are concentrated around their ego and their unique personality

There are some absolute truths in this world there Harry and the quote below sums up one of them quite nicely!

“The central conservative truth is that it is culture, not politics, that determines the success of a society.

The central liberal truth is that politics can change a culture and save it from itself.”
― Daniel Patrick Moynihan

So why are the conservatives so keen to impose their stupid fecking rules on everybody?

That's a load of bollocks Booners.

The Top Five Times A Fox Guest Debunked Fox








i don't know if they're the "top 5", but they're pretty good.

Fox must pay well because I can't see how anyone with even limited intelligence and credibility can work for these lie-mongers and take themselves seriously

I know it's unpopular, but after all these six/seven years I've been on TD (with two years sabbatical) I still think he's taking the piss and simply playing devil's advocate.
Ok, Cruz may ave a fan base and he is quite intelligent . . . but to stick up for someone like Palin in all seriousness . . . Nope, can't see it

No, Americans can actually be that retarded. Look at the excitement on their little faces.

Sad, but surely they're the percentage of the population who are semi-literate morons who just break into the IQ double figures.
Whatever we may think of BM, he is a bit smarter than that

^ Good god is that all you have got? These so called scandals have no legal traction and completely lack any creditable evidence. We are not losing anything as a matter of fact you robots are looking more stupid by the day.

You have nothing you post up nonsense that has been repackaged with deceptive and misleading headlines. You are part of a subservient cult that worships corporate oligarchs like gods.

Take a step back and look at the nonsense you are being spoonfed.

BTW the worst president in American history was by far GWB. His tax cuts and wars are the far and away largest contributor to the national debt.



Stop the lies

Time for a little income redistribution then we guess? Well on the way with Obamacare gutting the middle class, eh?

The repubtards already gutted the middle class there is little left.

So America has the lowest tax rate in its history and it has been the single biggest contributor to the raising of the nations debt. I just would like to see the tax brackets go back to the Reagan era.

The graph above shows that the path repubtards have lead us down will bankrupt the nation. You cant cut government budgets enough to offset the Bush tax cut. It was meant to be a short term cut of only two years.

Stop the lies.

Well, since we don't have a Herbert Hoover in Big White determining fiscal policy we guess we're stuck with the biggest imbecile to come out of the south side of Chicago - a failed Community Agitator...

^ well hits the nail on the head and you don't like it. Sad reality is that repubtards will not address that debt problem that they created. The math does not lie.
