The fact is that there has never been a better source of false
information than the mass media. The only question is where that false
information is coming from. Well, that depends on who controls the
media. In the US the people certainly don't control the media -- it's
controlled by the huge corporations that own it and the government
that regulates it. THAT'S the source of any misinformation you get
from the allegedly "left-biased" or "liberal" media. That's a fact!



No Frank these are not facts they are your opinion just like Dave has his
opinion about illegal operator on channle 6.



No, it's fact, and history is loaded with examples that prove it. The
US government regularly uses mass media, both foreign and domestic,
for disseminating misinformation. They can even do this even by their
silence; i.e, by omission. Refusing to keep the US updated on the Ohio
recounts sends the message that the issue is less important than
Martha Stewart getting second prize in the prison bake-off. And the
corporations that own the media outlets regularly use them to
influence public opinion to favor their own agendas, the most blatant
and recent example being the Sinclair group's push in the Bush
campaign.

And until Dave can provide an example where one of the allegedly
illegal operators he allegedly heard was found guilty, got an NAL, or
even admitted his guilt publically, then his allegations are nothing
more than his opinions, not facts.
