I focus on the FreePress site particularly just because it has such great practical information and also provides a really clear sense of the ways in which many different problems and reform campaigns relate to one another.Dale Carricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811055279887722298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29873405.post-1151723288252858502006-06-30T20:08:00.000-07:002006-06-30T20:08:00.000-07:00It's not so much that a free media can be bought, ...It's not so much that a free media can be bought, as that a corporate media is bought by definition.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16967233497214731240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29873405.post-1151697249969263592006-06-30T12:54:00.000-07:002006-06-30T12:54:00.000-07:00What Lessig says about media liking two sides to e...What Lessig says about media liking two sides to every story is almost certainly to blame for the current pathetic and destructive state of education on evolution in America today as well. They've managed to give a voice to a fictitious other side just to make it appear balanced and fair, when in fact there is no other side to give a fair voice to. Global warming suffered the same fate. The world is in deep, and American media has no idea the power it holds in the battles.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830094293166211231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29873405.post-1151688409085483362006-06-30T10:26:00.000-07:002006-06-30T10:26:00.000-07:00The issue of global warming is finally making inro...The issue of global warming is finally making inroads in the public consciouss.
