I was watching the night Howard Dean told Chris Mathews he was willing to look into breaking up the media mess, and I've been telling everybody that's why Dean lost the election. I have not seen anybody else bring this up until now.

Thanks Thom!

I certainly hope Naomi Klein subscribes to The Hartmann Report - this topic holds permanent residency in her wheelhouse.

The monolithic kingdom of information ministries must be dismanteled if we are to act in our best interests as a whole. This truth shares the space of priority 1 in the triage of our withering society. We have many good hearts here in this space we call Earth - but the mind is easily infected by those who do not. I have a number of dear friends afflicted by this condition(ing). I tell you, their hearts are pure. They are not selfish. They are not sadistic. They too want a society that functions for all.

What I see is frustration - people feeling betrayed, hopeless, and purposeless. And leveraging the anger flowering from such emotions are the scheming instigators of sellout talking-heads, their shit-for-blood handlers, and the institutional structure that is strictly media-for-money. They know - so very well - the strings to pull, the buttons to push, and the untruths to tell. They're taking our people and poisoning them to the end of creating another mindless node, one more voice to spread the gospel of greed and division into the network that is humanity.

These victims, produced by the mill of falsehoods & forgettings, are not our enemies. They are our neighbors, our friends, our family. How we share truth is sacred. The intention must come from the heart as a means to love, not win. That is something we can do about it.
