Do not 'report' anything that isn't confirmed by at least three sources. Leave the political commentary to the politicians.

I believe marc9000's OP is suggesting the corporate news' sensationalism helps inspire today's crazy shootings. marc9000 seems to suggest that the government should create rules (laws?) so that the media downplays the sensationalism.
My post was to show the irony of that suggestion because the President and congress has just revised an old law so that even MORE sensationalized propaganda (support for more needless wars?) be given to the american people.
I've long been a critique of the corporate media. Americans are known the world over for their actions against their own best interests. The government can accomplish this through violence or very effective propaganda. Obama and Congress has just made the effects of propaganda on the american people even more successful.
Do you agree with my opinion?
