Corruption rules

Issue date: 9/22/04 Section: Opinion
You know, there is far too much corruption in the media these days. Which is so unfortunate because the media can be so positive if left to the right people. I'm only 19 but I have seen so much corruption that sometimes I really want to throw up.
However, where is this corruption coming from?
Is there like an underground corruption railroad that smuggles all the biased news, eh hem (FOXCORP)?
It's not only mass media; it's media in general. There appears to be only two types of media, liberal (CNN) and conservative (FOX).
In my opinion, both of these so-called news agencies have no clue what real news is and haven't for about 20 years, since CNN started.
CNN may seem extremely slanted to the left but in reality all these news channels are owned by five major corporations, so my guess is the info might be a little tainted.
CNN is bad but come on, Bill O' Reilly, who is this guy? Have you heard his show's slogan, "We're looking out for you!"
Is this guy serious? A news corporation is looking out for me?
Yeah, they're looking out me all right. Looking out for me as much as I am looking to have arsenic in my water. Oh wait, that's already true.
I find it hilarious that is not only O'reilly's pitch but also the entire network's.
Too bad the owner of Fox Corporation, Rupert Murdoch, is one of the most conservative Neanderthals on the planet and I am quite confident that he is not looking out for you or me.
Definitely not you, because this is not a democracy, not even close.
The social and economic elite are in power, not us and as long as they are in control they are going to do everything they can to keep it that way.
P.S. I am only one person but I will do something for you no one else will, especially an opinion writer because opinion writers usually write for themselves. Remember, it's their opinion not yours; you have your own opinion.
I will tell you that a lot this year because no one ever told me; everyone's opinion matters.
