casserole of nonsense

I think folk in here are defending a "free press" when what they are really defending is a diverse press (meaning diversity of ownership). True diversity of ownership does not mean one rag is owned by a landed gent and another by a faceless stateless corporation.
There is very little left to defend in the mainstream media in this country, it's all Pravda brought to you by News Corp ( I love that name, it does exactly what it says on the tin).
Quite right.
I'd invite anybody on the forum to define what a "free press" actually looks like, and how it might be achieved in a sickeningly-corrupt state like Britain.
If people can't see it already, how do you wake them up to how the establishment stitches it all up? The media rarely question them, and laugh all the way to the bank whilst we are lapping up their shit.
A collective sense of anger and awakening is bubbling under, but the media ensure that the result of this is directed to the political right.
I might have mentioned this previously, but I fucking hate Murdoch, I really do.
