Not just Fox. NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, PBS, NPR, they are all our enemy. Why you say? They refuse to take our movement as seriously as Herman Cain's idiotic 999 program or Mitt Romney's Mormon dilemna, or the fact that the same Goddam media wanted the thuggish Chris Christie to be President! What happened to us picking our leaders?

Take the lousy Sunday shows. They will not have on any leftists or occupiers as guests. Their love affair with beltway insiders is pathetic. Meet The Press is funded by Boeing, one of the leading war profiteers. No wonder they don't have on anti-war voices or people like Noam Chomsky.

Just last sunday, This Week on ABC had a round table discussion with three conservatives and one centrist democrat! How is that free exchange?

In many decades none of the sunday shows have ever had on Noam Chomsky, even though he is the leading leftist intellectual in the world.

The media is owned by the same people that support Wall Street. We are on to you and you will not succeed. You will have to be reformed or replaced.

You are officially our enemy!

you know who Jeff Greenfield is? He is a major mucky muck at CBS. He used to be with CNN, also he was with ABC. He is the kind of slick boob that the media love to promote. When he produced Nightline, he was asked a simple question. Why was Noam Chomsky never on? He tells us, plus Noams great takedown of the media and their use of concision:

considering they are owned by corporations, the ones this movement is against, of course the media is the enemy as well.

I would like to see journalists' start being true reporters of the news. I'd like to hear the TRUTH not the newest Washington argument. What ever happened to giving us the facts without their personal preference? I thought reporters weren't suppose to care. I thought they were just suppose to report actual events and happenings. I also think that commentators should have to specify that their reporting is their personal view. Reporters just like to be where the biggest conflict is instead of reporting the accual news that we need to become informed.

Everybody has a different idea about who "the enemy" is. Does there have to be a scapegoat for your problems?

Agreed. This movement should not be about finding a new enemy.

See and people call me a troll. I'm trying to be productive. It isn't always pretty.

Collective production is the thing.
