Whether it is tv, books, magazines, all of them have come to be dominated by the giant conglomerates that now buy and control the message that is helpful to their cause of even more power. The right-wing think tanks, like Heritage, dream up the agenda and then pepper our media with their slanted view. On news stories, I don't want to get stories slanted either to the right or the left --- just the truth! If the American people had known about what went on inside Johnson, Nixon, Reagan and Bushs presidencies, they would have probably voted differently, but how can our people make a logical, rational decision when everything is filed away for years and years in secret files? This is what we must have --- the truth. Then people will make the right decision.</p> We have had 25 years dominated by business oriented news pushed mainly by the right-wing which has managed to own or control most of the reported stories in our country.
