Poll: Does the corporate media have a 'right' to 'free speech'?

[midnight rambler]

Ultimately, who's responsible for these massacres?

That's right, 'who' NOT 'what' is responsible? Inanimate objects are just that - inanimate.

Of course it's the fucking media, or as I'm now referring to them 'the automatic media' since they automatically immortalize mass murders guaranteeing them their place in history rather than coming off as the pathetic losers they are.

IF young Lanza acted alone, I'm now convinced what he did was a 'fuck the world, REMEMBER ME!' moment. What has mostly convinced me of this is that he killed the one living soul who loved him the most unconditionally, then went on to get 'remembered' by a world he must have felt rejected him. Of course this is all speculation on my part, but that what it appears to me.

Back to the AUTOMATIC media - "Give us some heinous act to report on and we GUARANTEE that we will cover you and your life for hundreds and hundreds of hours! Naturally it doesn't hurt that you give us some most excellent fodder to advance our (gungrabbing) agenda, and for that we are extra grateful - we'll give you even MORE coverage for that!"

In my view, the two most effective ways to end this sort of shit:

1) get rid of 'gun free zones', since it's a no-brainer that perps won't be launching an attack where they will quickly get return fire;

2) BAN the corporate media from AUTOMATICALLY broadcasting the life and deeds of some pathetic loser when he (or she) commits some heinous act - put a limit on it, like 15-30 seconds maybe only twice a day; shit, maybe ban the coverage all together on the national broadcast/cable news networks.

I think the question is wrong to begin with corporate media doesn't operate with free speech to begin with. Their MO is mind controll. Should mind controllers have the right to transmit their shit, as they seem fit? Possibly not... But on the other hand government is in the hands of the mind controllers to begin with, so I don't see an advantage in them taking controll, and start censoring, on the small scale you can only turn off the tel-aviv-zion, and hope the system collapses, calling for censorship isn't going to make things long term better...

I agree with you regarding the mind control/perception management angle completely, however surely you would agree that the media uses 'free speech' as a cover for their mind control/perception management.

i don't think it's just the media. it's the whole Politically Correct American culture, a culture that is unable to tell the truth,

because if they did -

* US would sever relations with Israel over 9-11.

* US would destroy Israeli military - or maybe just give some weapons to Israel's neighbors, that Israel has so deliberately pissed off.

* US $ might lose all value, as criminal nature of US/Jew-S government was stripped bare for the world to see.

* Americans would rebel massively.

* Hundreds of Thousands of Banksters would be sent to a penal colony and their assets would be seized.


until incidents like this Newtown shooting stop happening, people would also get a clue about the broken-ness of American culture, and the effect that has on security of 10 year old children.

the hand-wringing and BS debates would continue, but in the meantime, teachers would open carry.


i think a lot of the Culture that America has become, that can be laid at the feet of the Media - among other organizations and groups.

Ok, whomever voted in the poll that the corporate media (legal fictions) have rights just like individual living souls kindly justify your position. TIA

Yes, but really the problem isn't 'free speech', having said that I see your point, that it should be limited to physical persons, and no one should be able to hide under a corporation, when the lies they spout is slandering, injuring and killing real people. Every corporate whore yellow journalist, should be personally liable, for what they write, but only towards real people, you can't really injure a fictional character/person/corporation, without flesh and blood and emotions. I will vote for your second option, but I think you framed the question a bit to narrow to begin with...

I didn't vote, but don't the hosts have a their "right to free speech". I know all the msm is controlled. Personally I am getting the vibe that almost all media is controlled to some extent. I also know that the bobble heads are spewing from a script. The bobble heads earn their bonus for spewing outside of work too, a twofor if you like.

However, don't the bobble heads that possibly could be running free have the right to spew what they want? It's a slippery slope imho to reign in any speech. Don't give a step to the opposition that could be used against you. Allow all speech and see their platform crumble.

I would argue that since all corporations are made of of individuals, those individuals do have their rights to free speech and those rights don't go away even in a corporate setting. However, I believe they have a great responsibility to be good stewards of the voice they have, and are not currently acting as such. But that doesn't take away their right to say whatever they want. The problem is not corporations emitting propaganda, the problem is the mindless masses embracing it without independent thought.
