Dr. Lawrence Britt wrote of the fourteen points of fascism. I would like to discuss one of them.
6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

HHS is Paying Google with Taxpayer Money to Alter 'Obamacare' Search Results

Welcome to the 21st Century. The internets look like theyre going to make it and search engines are most certainly a part of the media.
The rest of your comment was typical liberal the masses are too stoopid condescension. People look to the internet for advice, in much the same way snot nosed college kids look to Jon Stewart for their political ideology. Doesnt make it right, just makes it so.
The issue here isnt whether the internet is the media or that people are stupud, its the the fucking federal government is using tax dollars for partisan political propoganda. Are you blind??? If Bush did the same thing with the Iraq War (now officially endorsed by Obama btw)youd be crying bloody murder.
Grow some principles for fucks sake.
Youre like a broken record. The federal govt is spewing blatant propoganda on our dime, I think its cause for concern and make a post on it. You ignore that by responding with FOX bashing, Dick Cheney and that the rich dont pay enouygh taxes.
Forget principles, grow up.
Youre seriously like a child, its always a game of tag with you.
No its not the first time and it wont be the last. However unlike you and you ilk I will speak actual truth to power. I didnt like it when the Bush admin had columnist Armstrong Williams on payroll advocating No Child Left Behind and I dont like this. I imagine you didnt either, but somehow this is ok with you? Hmm wonder why, maybe because youre a fraud.
See, the difference is whats called having principles. I have them, you do not and why debating you is pointless.
Now, unless you have something meaningful to add besides that FOX/Cheney/The Rich are the devil you can move along.
I'm against the government paying for google search results, although it's hardly fascism. And yes I was also against the Bush administration paying journalists.
I dont think you understand net neutrality, maybe its best you learn yourself before referencing it. I know the line is muddled for liberals but what private companies do and what the federal govt does are two seperate animals. Verizon charging customers more for faster web access is of no comparison to the President of the United States skewing web searches to favor his shit policies.
Its a shame Obama isnt good at giving speeches, if so maybe then he could talk to the people and explain his policies for approal rather than constantly trying to hide them or pass them in the dead of night hoping no one is wiser.
Whats paradoxical, even hypocritical is that you support this guy, as everything you have ranted about the past decade would dictate you dont. But hey, he raised taxes so thats prob good enough for you.
How am I supposed to undestand? You have said a hundred things on this thread and absolutely nothing on topic.
I hate to break this to you but I think its you that doesnt understand you. I know you better than you know yourself.
Well, I'm not sure I would go so far as to describe Donkey as "intelligent."
Ok let me just be get this straight, You ALL agree that the practice of paying google to alter search results is wrong? But instead of agreeing that the government of the people should be accountable to the people and possibly doing something about it, you spend a day insulting each other? Because it is the only other thing you all agree on doing?
I think we can all agree that nobody likes samw!
Now what?
Actually we've been insulting each other for two days. Get your facts right before piping in.
