Writing this the day before the election, I can say who the absolute winner of the
2008 Presidential Election Is !
It is the media not the candidates. Think about this, both sides total sum of spending on advertising is 50% higher than ever before and this comes from many years of new record levels.
No wonder the media is so interested in buying out their competitors even though the say they are losing money?
I’m willing to bet they make enough during Presidential Campaigns alone to pay the rent for 4 more years.
Now Newspapers are allowed to buy Radio Stations, who also claim they make no money???.
Just something to think about the next time you wonder where your choices went for REAL news.
Who does Investigative Reporting anymore? One could wonder if there is a pact between candidates
and media… spend campaign money with us and we won’t shine a bad light on you?
Political Parties are nothing short of organized crime and the media are now the hit-men!
Just something to think about the next time a Newspaper, Radio or TV station endorses a candidate.
And The Loser Is…
I don’t have to tell you that one do I?
Do you know who owns your local Media? Look them “all” up and also check in your next town/city
as it may surprise you ’cause they do this very quietly.
I come from a small town where one company owns the only 3 papers in my county and every towns paper in 8 other nearby counties and 99% of the folks here do not know it.
How long before they close 2 of the 3 and distribute the one county wide paper? They might as well because the
type errors in the stories are the same no matter which one you read!
If you don’t think this has an effect on local and national politics, think again.
Thank You De-Regulation. You know, every time something is De-Regulated, it seems to take 5 to 15 years for us to realize why it was regulated to begin with.
The Big Boys Can’t or Will not behave and the little guy pays the price yet again.
The cutting of Red-Tape is short for, let my campaign supporter buddies make some money here!
