That’s odd because…
…when the issue is removing filth and violence from the airwaves…
…we are told that we make our opinions known…
…by changing the channel…
…similarly, we can make our opinions known about the presentation of the news…
…by refusing to watch…
…with all the news sources available to us, we can get along just fine without tv news…
…as noted previously by several posters…
…Since the current programs maintain an audience just fine…
…most people are apparently happy with the situation.

You have the cart before the horse, when you say nobody cares — nobody knows, and nobody understands the implications, BECAUSE THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAS NOT FULLY REPORTED THE IMPORTANT NEWS.

They seem to have no problem, however, reporting on the latest devleopment in the sentencing of Paris Hilton.

The only way we can turn this thing around is if we let our representatives know that we are MAD AS HELL AND WE AREN'T GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE. I write to my representatives regularly both Democrats and Republic. If our Republic representatives see that they are going to be voted out of office, they will change. I also write regularly to the media and to their advertisers. I have a long list of companies I won't do business with because they support the Bush Monarchy. Surprisingly enough, I often get replies back from the companies. So, I know they are listening. We have had successes with our letter writing campaigns. Look at what we did with Bill O'Lieley. And look what happened to Imus. He was OK until his sponsors started deserting the show. And why did they do that? Because they heard from angry customers. The only power we still have as "we the people" is the power of our pen and our purse. Use them please. “I spent the entire morning writing letters to Senators and Representatives.

Those stations are both wholly owned and operated subsidiaries of the Bush Administration/Republic party. I don't believe that they reported it when the story first came out either.
