Silence is Consent

If you don't speak up you accept what is happening. This site was born out of the mainstream media's inability to cover the news. I am just an American cititzen trying to spread the word in the era of FCC consolidation, post 9/11 Patriot Act hysteria, hackable voting machines and war without end. I rant and post news items I perceive to be relevant to our current situation.

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
- Thomas Jefferson

I guess I should say something about this whole Reagan mini-series thing but in the big picture I am so uninterested in it that it all just seems sad. I never would have watched it and probably not many other people would have either. Now people will be lined up when Showtime airs this thing. If you read the above link, I purposefully linked the McPaper story.
Others say the skittishness was a unique response to Ronald Reagan, 92, a conservative icon who is battling Alzheimer's disease and who has powerful political supporters. "He was the standard looked up to by every conservative politician as a man who essentially gave them back their dignity," a TV executive says. "When you go after him, it's like going after George Washington."
Let's see now: Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt,..... Reagan!? I don't think so. If this is an unflattering portrayal of the Reagans well they can just look to the Kennedys for advice because it seems like they have a mini-series like this done on someone in their family every year. To me what it shows is who makes the decisions about what we see on TV. It is not the writers, actors, reporters or anyone else. It is the corporate executives that make the decisions. Once again the corporate media bias rears its ugly head.
