		<description>Oh why not leave a suggestion while I&#039;m at it.  It starts with individual action.  Give back the cable box.  I hate Time Warner, why on earth am I paying to watch it.  And I don&#039;t want one of those digital converters.  I can read a book if I get bored.

If you want big media to disappear, you have to stop supporting it.  It will catch on.  People are brainwashed.  All the brainwashing techniques were developed by big advertising.  People are reacting to color, sounds, images, and carefully chosen phrases.  Everybody is walking around like zombies, in case you didn&#039;t notice.

You can&#039;t even have a conversation with people in public without hearing some brainwashed feedback.  They spit back the same phrases all day long.  They are a complacent society willing to line up and do as they are told.  

All you have to do is break the brainwashing with independent though, reckless as it sounds.  Just be like Anderson Cooper, just tell it like it is and let it fly all over the place.  Throw caution to the wind and just say it.

I was slapped with a restraining order last year for telling it like it is to the NSA.  NSA can still kiss my petunias.  As journalists, you have to get in their faces, not run around trying to please them.</description>

		<description>I doubt that we are going to get big media reform anytime soon.  I sat on a story about the NSA not doing background checks all last year, which is the biggest story I can think of.  The NY Times ran off screaming the minute they heard NSA.  The Washington Post still hasn&#039;t recovered from the shock.  The LA Times, FoxNews, NBC, 60 Minutes, and everybody else, had a cardiac at the thought of running a negative story about the NSA.

So I have to do a book now and promote it by buying clik ads,  &quot;Learn the Trtuh about the NSA&quot;.  If independent journalists would pick up the big stories from small and insignificant people, and circumvent the whole big media, the big media wouldn&#039;t have the power it does over our lives.

I had to give back my cable box to Time Warner during the election because I couldn&#039;t tolerate the brainwashing that interrupted the informative shows.   Anderson Cooper got on Regis and Kelly&#039;s show and said the same thing.  He said he was watching Linsey Lohan&#039;s family dominate his television, and then said &quot;why am I wasting my valuable time watching this stuff?&quot;.

You have to be much more open to the little people, like Studs Terkel.  Stop walking away from legitimate stories just because the story happens to involve some insignificant person.  I worked for Harvard attorneys for 20 years, and I thought they were bad until I met a few big media people.  There is nothing worse than some egomaniac with a microphone or a newspaper at his disposal to use at his own whim.

Your entire job is to help people discern propaganda from truth and to put an end to the brainwashing.</description>
