Why You're Not Getting The News

You're not getting the news:

Because "the news" is no longer the news--it's soundbites and headlines

Because you're letting TV, radio, and newspapers feed you spin (biased opinion) and babble

Before 9/11--and the Bush administration's attacks on constitutional freedoms following that disaster--American citizens had the option of whether or not to inform themselves.
But Bush's attacks on our civil liberties now constitutes such a CRISIS that Americans must either inform themselves or they will soon find themselves without basic freedoms.

If you're going to become an informed citizen, you're going to have to inform yourself! The so-called TV "news" shows don't even pretend to provide a balanced presentation of varying points of view. A Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) study of ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News in the year 2001 shows that 92 percent of all U.S. sources interviewed were white, 85 percent were male and, where party affiliation was identifiable, 75 percent were Republican. FAIR's exposé of the Bill O'Reilly program reveals the ugly visage of bigotry and egomania. TV only provides DIS-information and inane entertainment which it calls "news."
