Decline of the American empire: The Old Media

I still watch some of the corporate news, mostly the broadcast networks, just to keep an eye on what the corporations want us to think.

But goddamn it's just getting worse and worse. The propaganda is getting really blatant, and the human interest stories, holy shit, could they be any lamer?

Like this thing with Porter Goss - it's all over the net that he was fired because he was caught going to poker and prostitute parties at the watergate hotel arranged by defense contractors looking to bribe their way into contracts. Who attended these parties - apparently only republican congressmen and cia officials.

The FBI discovered this investigating Duke Cunningham.

But do the major networks report this? Not a word yet, as far as I've heard. (not that I watch heavily)
