    They want to monitor everything so no communication goes unmolested. Its sad to see one of the freest countries in the world take a turn like this.

    Exactly. Add the last few years of the media failing in their adversarial role and we the people are screwed.

    You are not screwed because of anything the media did or did not do - you are screwed because you let the corporations dictate what the government does.

    Can you be any more clueless about the damage the Media is DIRECTLY responsible for in this country?

    If that's the case the media should be holding them accountable for that, too.

    There aren't millions of people listening in a call center to every single call made hoping to get juicy ones on their shift.

    I hope they aren't looking for the words "big" and "boobs" or I'm in trouble, ha ha.

    If you was half as smart as you think you are... you would see the PRONOUNCED bias in their news coverage...

    Easy for me... not so easy for most people.


    I know where to go for a lot of stuff... can't get it for everything... but probably everyone reading would not be able to go where I do...

    Without an inside source on EVERYTHING, you MUST rely on somebody's reporting. Can you tell us who? Is it a secret? For example, who told you Obama doesn't have a birth certificate?

    I live in the USA... everything they do affects me... it likely doesn't affect you. But it most likely does at least in some ways.

    One outlet can only do so much, but they've for the most part been the only national media to fulfill their adversarial role for the last five years. But if your premise is correct that would be the perfect outrage for the liberal media to expose. Are they?

    I spend all my time around government agencies and foreign embassies when I'm not in my office. I'm on a first name basis with all of them, and have been for a lot of years... We talk... its that simple.
