Mutual Funds don't contain shares of Pravda or The WWW.
But but but any Democrat will tell you that the mainstream media is conservative because they are a large corporation and out to protect their interests. They must consider Moveon.org to be conservative now since they raked in $30million this election cycle.
Well newspapers have recently been caught cooking the books on their circulation figures to warrant higher advertising rates. Wouldn't surprise me that they lie to Wall Street too.
Who knows, maybe some left wing controlled mutual fund might own Pravda stock, if there is any.

Actually that is lying to Wall Street. It is interesting that the lunatic left wing AG of NY is not investigating the NY Slimes on this criminal activity.
Maybe we will be able to erect these Tombstones all over America before the 2008 election.
Don't expect the mainstream media to cover this scandal the way they covered Enron.
The Chicago Tribune which owns the LA Slimes is up to its neck re inflated subscribers and news stand stories.
One of the NYC newspapers was found guilty of this and had to make refunds to it advertisers. The advertisers paid rates based on the lies about circulation.
The NY Slimes is being investigated on this now.
I have a neighbor who makes me look moderate and he has been getting the NY Slimes dropped off in his driveway for years. One day I challenged him about it. His youngest is a soph in the local college, and he has had at least one of three children in college for a decade. They have been required to subscribe to the NY Slimes at a highly discounted rate as a requirement for some of their classes.
This fellow believes that if the college student subscribers are ever audited properly, the NY Slimes will be in real trouble. He says that this a normal practice in liberal colleges/universities across the nation to require a subscription to the NY Slimes for certain classes.
