"While your ["Candor7] desire to clean up the MSM is admirable, I think I'll pass on this lobbying effort."

I'll *pass* on the idea too, FGS.

Beyond the anachronistic little ditty, "We hold these truths to be self evident..." (& all it implies gone haywire with our quisling media) the last thing any sane person should knowingly do is grant [even] more power to bureaucrats.
Doing so only begs to evoke the old adage, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" by creating yet another Frankenstein monster we'll never be able to get rid of, never-mind control.

"The one question, if answered, that might shed some light on the problem of socialist leaning MSM, where is the conservative media. Where are our cheerleaders?"

Whoaaaa hold it there, partner. {~said with my *best* Texan drawl...}
That's a great question; but, haven't we've discussed [that] very point once before (ad nauseum) from a different perspective? {@ CCRM...}

I once asked you (& bert & "Copernicus" etc) how it is the Liberal-Socialist quislings could possibly get away with their socialist crappola, IF in fact, the networks are owned & operated by capitalists.
Remember?
Said something stunk, didn't "square" with reality in corporate America & what we're "seeing"? ;^)

The Liberal-Socialist quislings could only be doing what they are/have with the *blessing(s)* of those very high up the corporate ladder, possibly at the very top.
Hence the analogy using the character, "Mr. Jensen" from Network?
Kind of captures the paradox beautifully if true, don't you think?

"I really short-sheeted my post because company just arrived..."

Yea I know, my knees slammed into my chin. {g}

"...so this will have to do for now..."

Fair enough.

...but *do* consider what I've said. ;^)

Yeah well, sortof. Yeah ;^)

BUT, it's a question that continues to bounce around the hollow spaces between my ears(room to roam?) since it's not been answered, at least to my satisfaction. I have produced rants on this several times without arriving at any conclusion, except that, there is no easy or apparent answer. Now, that should trouble a lot of people, particularly conservatives. The MSM is a bunch of firebreathing, leftist goebbelists.......and we don't know why? And, from what I'm able to gather, we can't find out why.

I'll grant you that at least the mega corporations, including the MSM owners, are part and parcel of the "issue", but are they in fact just using the best tool available to them to keep their name/product in front of the masses? The right masses? You know, the ones easily separated from their money? Who just concidentally are excellent candidates for Dim vote mining due to their lack of critical thinking skills?

Likely some truth in that excellent film, but it might only be a partial truth? Since some pretty good minds around here(not to mention MRC, AIM, etc) haven't been able to arrive at anything approaching an answer leaves me deeply saddened(heh). Fact is, I don't recall the question even being asked by any of that illustrious group. I even politely chided one of our own who's writing "A History of the Media", basically stating if he couldn't arrive at an answer to this question, his history would be woefully incomplete.

Well, I've flogged this horse so many times, he's starting to enjoy it, so...

Whenever I read your's and FGS' esoteric musings about the MSM, I'm reminded of Lewis Carrol's; "The Walrus and the Carpenter" poem...

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand:
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
'If this were only cleared away,'
They said, 'it would be grand.'
.........

.............
'The time has come,' the Walrus said,
'To talk of many things:
Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing wax --
Of cabbages -- and kings --
And why the sea is boiling hot --
And whether pigs have wings.'
