Monday, January 11, 2010 Free, Fair and Balanced by Steven Thompson
In essence, the mainstream media is in the business of dumbing down Americas body politic. In a democracy this reality has worked to weaken or eliminate the "consent of the governed" from the entire political equation.
Wednesday, November 18, 2009 Free Speech—At a Price | Freedom From The Press

Check the broadcast schedule on Free Speech Television available on the Internet and some cable systems. Dish Network FSTV channel 9415. Progressives and Independents must unite as one.

"With Liberty And Justice For All"
How can Barack Obama's DOJ justify investigating and prosecuting Bernie Madoff for his involvement in a small ponzi scheme, while Obama and Geithner are sweeping a gigantic ponzi scheme under the White House rug.

Sunday, May 3, 2009 Top Senate Dem: Banks Own Congress (1 comments)
Sen. Dick Durbin, on a local Chicago radio station this week, blurted out an obvious truth about Congress that, despite being blindingly obvious, is rarely spoken: "And the banks -- hard to believe in a time when we're facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created -- are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill.
