BIG BROTHER--HE'S REALLY MADE OF CARDBOARD, YA'KNOW
I'm sure most, if not all of you, have heard of product placement. Well, until now, American news has been free of that rubbish. The news is the cornerstone of a free state. Without unbiased news, we cannot have an informed democracy, but instead fall prey to propaganda and marketing, which more often than not, distort the news to whatever the corporate CEO's and shareholders deem it to be.
Rupert Murdoch is a corporate coward. In his greed, he murders IDEAS. Corporate media has NO INTEREST in an unbiased and intelligent press, to the corporate mouguls, a free-thinking public is an abomination--because give people the chance to THINK, and they might say, "No." No to advertisers, no to a political move that the big-wigs want approved, and so on.
Murdoch, like any true coward and bully, doesn't care who or what he damages, as long as he gets what he wants. Rupert Murdock is a zero. It takes balls of iron to care and do the right thing. Rupert's balls are pink and soft, like fluffy bunny slippers or fuzzy dice.
Murdoch's only power is his money--strip away the wealth, and all you have is a cardboard cutout of a human being, at best. If, like in some Frank Capra film, you were to suddenly put the man down, pennyless and homeless on the streets, I think you'd find that Fidel Castro has more character than Murdoch.
So far, the one sacrilidge the corporate media had avoided doing, was prostituing the news for advertising dollars. Thanks to Rupert and his Fox News, that is no longer the case.
Now, Murdock is allowing McDonalds to put fake glasses of "iced coffee" (not real ice and not real coffee), on news presenters desk's, to push their iced coffee product, for the next 6 months. News anchors will not (and cannot) drink the coffee--so there is no purpose
Yes, while news presenters and reporters are telling you how a baby drowned in a pool, or how a man burned to death in his car, or how an entire village was massacured in Darfur, you can sit back and admire that nice cool looking cup of McDonald's fake iced coffee, oh, that's lovely.
If you resent Rupert Murdoch's mental rape of the press, and you think McDonalds is nothing but a big ugly bully in a clown suit, here's your chance to get even. BOYCOT McDonalds--write them and tell them to peddle their iced coffees elsewhere. Tell them that it's tacky and demeans the democratic process. Tell them anything, just...tell them. Please.
