If OUR gov't would realize and fix this problem most of the worlds problems would go away because officials would have to depend on their own merits to get elected. It is a simple problem to fix. Get corporations out of government.

Moreso, it is unethical for corporations to have anything to do with the news regarding the coverage of government.

Get the corporations out of the media. Let there be a renaissance of journalism where TRUTH is the agenda of the story. Opinions and owner's demands be damned.

Our government DOES realize this. That's why they will never fix it.

I just want to mention that Clear Channel destroyed radio in this country.

Does anyone remember how awesome radio used to be before Clear Channel bought nearly all the stations and started playing the same 50 songs all day long?

Amen to that!

I honestly feel sorry for you guys. I mean, if Romney wins, absolutley nothing will change, it wll stay bad and maybe get worse. And if Ron Paul wins, it could go either way, its a gamble, but id gamble Ron "might" actually try to make a change, the others are merley your average polotician, they will only do whats best for there career and what TPTB tell them too.

I think its time RP used this to his advantage, show how he has been pushed aside, called radical, and blatantly blacked out by the media. Runner up in 2 primaries and its all been about Newt and Romney.

Nothing angers me more than when CNN shows any footage on debates or anything and he is flat out ignored aside from little jabs. This should be illegal. This is a terrorist act. How can we change it?

First of all, why do you think we could change anything? What's the point of living in a free country if you dont have the right to broadcast whatever you want, and say whatever you want??

The lame stream media does not exist solely as a public service. Its a business. They do things for MONEY. They're going to slam, or ramp up any candidate that will benefit them. They dont really care about getting the truth out to the masses.

Sure, there are certain ethics that apply to news, but they are operating well within their bounds. What the hell do you propose? The government take over the media and make it nationalized so the content is controlled? Yeah that would be great.....welcome to North Korea, and we all know they really get the truth on their news outlets!

Some of the posters on this site never cease to amaze me. On the one hand you want more "freedom" and less regulation and government involvement in things like the internet. Then you say, "I wish we could do something about that damn main stream media! They're all in cohoots!"

I have a very easy solution for you. If you dont like what the news says about a candidate, or feel its biased or unfair, simply pick up that thing called "remote control" and turn it off.

Geez....

Not defending Hannity or Limbaugh or anyone but I do listen to them and they've been kind of bashing Romney for things like his Romneycare in Mass. and other things. So if his former company was pressuring these guys to not talk about Ron Paul, wouldn't they also be pressuring these guys to support Romney for nomination? I mean they've said that if he became the nominee they'd vote for him but they've been talking about how Gingrich and Santorum would be better in their books. Again, not Ron Paul but not Mitt Romney either.

Does Mitt Romney own polling stations as well?

I have been listening to this station lately and I wondered why Ron Paul is never mentioned! I remember one of them were talking about how "there are four candidates left, Romney, Gingrich, Santorum." And they left out the fourth and most important, Dr Paul. I was actually going to call and ask why no one every speaks of Paul but you answered my question! I still want to call and bring this point up.

Romney's conflicts of interests are astounding to me.No wonder Bane and Clear Channel are backing him if he gets into the White House we will continue down this fascist path we have been going down.

Maybe Ron Paul should quit being buddies with Mitt Romney.

They've been friends for a while, so i've heard.....

I think RP has to take off the kid gloves and stop treating the dishonorable with honor. He doesn't have to accuse, just point out these conflicts of interest and tell people to draw their own conclusions. I also think whatever topic comes up in debates, he needs to point out how the others voted previously.

Simple as that.

This is sick... I'm watching tv and fox news is declaring voter fraud a mith wtf
