It's become very obvious that the corporate media is manipulating information and propaganda to affect our elections. A lot of people express "frustration" with this, but it needs to be taken further. I would consider it treason. You have wealthy owners taking actions to directly affect the outcome of our so-called "democratic" elections. It's ludicrous to call this level of manipulation "free speech". And if the bought-and-paid-for congress refuses to do anything about it, then why aren't progressive/environmental/justice, etc. groups calling for boycotts of not only the corporate media, but more importantly, the advertisers using the corporate media??? If money is the only thing they understand, then major boycotts to hit them in the pocketbook may be the only thing we have left.
