Editor’s note: More evidence the “right” side of the Mockingbird corporate media has an agenda — destroy the real patriot movement and supplant it with a fake and harmless resistance.

Most Americans have already caught the drift that there is bias in media. There is “bias” in all media. Everyone and anyone in media knows and has some kind of an agenda. It doesn’t matter where you get your news; always remember there’s an agenda. The question is, what’s the stated agenda versus the *real* agenda? When presented any news this is where the reader, listener, or viewer must be able to discern the *real* media agenda, and not be blindsided by the news agency’s stated agenda. Case in point is the latest “Tea Party to Rally Against “Bias” Media. What is the *real* agenda, compared to the stated agenda?
Let me be up front right now. My agenda, as just an average everyday blogger is to expose Fox News, discredit them, and ruin their little neocon lead Tea Party as best I can. My agenda to do this is not because I favor the leftist corporate or state run media down the dial. It is not because I favor a certain TV host or radio personality. My agenda is to expose the hypocrisy and outright idiocy of the latest Tea Party protest being lead by Fox News minions. Why do I want to do this? So hopefully concerned Americans won’t waste their Saturday afternoon looking stupid, but rather stay home, enjoy a nice Fall day and perhaps do something productive and meaningful.
First, how crazy is it to protest competing media when you already have what you consider to be a favorable source of news? That is exactly what Fox and fiends are doing. The proponents of the latest Tea Party want to lift up Fox News and tear down the other guys. They are apparently not happy that the other liberal news outlets are not espousing their world view non stop, but rather they are continuing to combat their world view. You know what? Who cares? Let them. People are going to gravitate toward the media that best fits their world view at that time, regardless of what your list of grievances with bias reporting may be. So instead, why not create your own message that has some universal truth in it, and work with the grassroots mono-e-mono?
Second, advertising dollars run news agencies. If your ratings are high, you fetch a better $ for the same air time. Last time I checked Fox News has ample numbers of idiots tuning into their shows. So what benefit is it to have a bunch of neocon news stations competing for the same ad revenue? None! So why not continue to separate yourselves from the pack and gain more market share if your message is so receptive with the masses?
I have watched Fox News, MSNBC, and others on occasion. All “news” media has become is entertainment and anointed stories. Now it is also a big political pissing match between show hosts while America slides into the shitter. Really, is this news we want? Are we approaching the root of the problems in America with the help of the media? Or are we continually being lead off track just enough to miss the bigger picture? Does corporate media have anything to gain by biting the hand that feeds them, and attacking the real culprits of America’s demise. Who feeds the corporate press? If you don’t know who feeds them, you don’t have any business protesting them. If you do know who feeds them, why not just turn them off and find alternative press and share that with your neighbors? I know, that is too controversial, because the truth certainly is stranger than fiction.
Lastly, and this has to be the biggest and most absurd reason for protesting corporate media. Who will ever hear about it? Who is going to report it? Well maybe Fox News will, and the choir can sing in unison “We are the Champions”. Will Fox News and their protestors sway viewers of other news stations about the legitimacy of their complaints about “bias” in media? I think not. You are just going to get all hot and bothered over the fact that, hey? Where’s the press on our Tea Party? Duh!
Well, if you are still bent on going to this Tea Party, here’s an idea for a sign. “It is time to support a free and independent press again!”
For people who want to know why a true and independent press is the best investmentI suggest you watch this presentation. My agenda… reality.

Your screed versus FOX, while well-earned in many ways on their part, also should, and must be said of CNN, NPR, CBS, ABC, and NBC as well–because–as you put it–as many “idiots” watch those networks as well. Specifically and pointedly, you should mention ALL the networks, as well as virtually all of the print media, most of which isn’t fit to line the bottom of bird cages. A lot of “idiots” read the print media as well–and if you want to talk about corrupt, inclusive corporations–whoa!
Singling out the “Tea Parties” per se, is to completely miss the point of the tea parties. They represent–not FOX nor any political party–but a general, consensual, and very, VERY welcome discontent across the spectrum. FOX might try to take the credit, but watching the other networks try to discredit it all–and doing so in favor of the marxist/fascist crap the government is spewing forth–is even more reason that you should roast ALL of the networks, and get off just the anti-FOX stuff. Every network is a lost cause in that respect. If you don’t like FOX–fine. I don’t like ANY of the networks. Every single one has an agenda–and agendas that do not favor me as a citizen, a producer, and a consumer.
The internet affords us the most viable “news”–which is why governments the world over are trying to somehow minimize its effect. They cannot, but they are trying very hard. They make the laws, and voting only perpetuates the revolving doors of wanna-be petty tyrants (do you vote?). Blanket accusations against corporations are specious–many play up to government over against the best for the people, many do not. But all of them owe their stockholders–people like you and me with investments for our families well-being–to make money. So just slamming them really helps no one, unless they have have breached their fiduciary responsibility. Read Lew Rockwell every day–that much will be clear to you.
The tea parties are GOOD things–because Americans are finally getting upset at government, and getting seriously upset with politicians in general. Blasting away at FOX sounds just as biased as any of the talking heads on TV.
Avoid being guilty of the very same bias you decry.
Blast away at ALL OF THEM, and make this the best alternative news site online.
That will make your point the best way possible.
All the best–

Well said JB!!! because any informed american knows full well.”In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press….They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers.
“An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers.” U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917 …. “The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media.” -Former C.I.A. Director William Colby…nuff said!
Gov’t controlled health care, cap and trade, etc, is all supporting the wealthy elites from whom we broke away in 1773.
They are the oligarchy of the rich who want a ‘managed society’ under some utopian dream they will control all the wealth for their families.
By falling for this communist and his policies, he is working for them and thus you are supporting these elitists and monarchies.
SHAME ON YOU..
