Not Just a Metaphor - The Marketplace of Ideas

This report in The Nation reveals how your cable news networks have become a soap box for corporate shills. This is bi-partisanship at work. Both Democratic and Republican lobbyists are taking part. And note too that it is not just right wing nuts at Fox who are offensive on this. It is the "centrists" and "liberals" at CNN and MSNBC too! This is not a free press, it is a press that is bought and paid for. We cannot rely on the ethical scruples of the corporate shills or the networks here. This is a political problem.
