...And who calls that, "freedom"?

A Conservative. Conservatives see corporations basically as social institutions, sources of security that all Conservatives desperately crave. Cons do want government to subsidize social institutions.

The heavy price we pay for broadcast legal lying is a society that can no longer recognize the lie. The critical thinking skills necessary to challenge a claim are no longer readily available. Nor, are they desirable. Meanwhile, the noise and the lies continue to increase dominating our lives in a never ending stream of balderdash. Like a sponge we soak up what is called "news", but in reality is the orchestrated propaganda of capitalism and the so-called corporate "free market system" that has taken over the government of the United States.
Journalists have become cheerleaders for the establishment. News pundits have become regurgitators of the corporate/Pentagon line. The "experts" trotted out in their spiffy desert camouflage uniforms are the paid partisans of Pentagon management. Nary is an opposing view or voice of contradiction heard. The media have sucked in, and sucked up to, the "if you are not with us you are against us" fascist mindset. The media have, like the Borg, been assimilated into the collective. They are part of the mantra matrix chanting the same administration line and lies. Facts no longer matter. Investigative journalism has succumbed to the Tucker Carlson and James Carville style of babble. The bow-tied and bald-headed bastards put knots in our brains.

I call them "lemmings". But, you do have to keep in mind that here in America, there are many different sources for our news. If someone tends to believe the viewpoint they have been led to by the corporate interests, then who are you or I to tell them they are wrong? They may be ignorant, and sometimes they refuse to wise up. That's why lemmings have a tendency to run off the cliff together.

The board of pretenders known as the FCC were recently in Seattle?, at hearings to allow the six corporations that control the media consolidate further, the citizens thought it was a bad idea. As soon as the chairman of the FCC got back to Washington, he proceeded with his plans to allow this consolidation. I call it...when we need an opinion, they'll tell us what it is.

A puppet or a tool. And I certainly do not call that freedom, in any way, shape or form. *sm*

I thought it was called fascism, but the way you word it makes it sound as if the person spouting that garbage is unwilling.

Cons love the freedom of being brainwashed by AIPAC and doing their dirty work anytime without any obstruction.
