Getting Wise

Mainstream media has remained in power far too long while setting their own rules without public consent (once again, the corporation dictates way too much). Take the Calgary Sun or Fox News as an example, they're a bloody tabloid sprinkled with current events and ulterior motives. For God sake, car dealership ads take up most of the spread (more money though -- right??). It's sad and ridiculous. News is hardly news anymore and the mainstream media better show signs of being much more adaptive because unlike our growing consciousness, they haven't.

We're getting wise.

No form of media should have the power to funnel information or sift through what they feel is important or paid to say is important. It's time for people to challenge each others' way of thought.

and now for something completely different....

Here's Tony Hayward, BP's beleaguered chief executive being slapped over the ass (repeatedly) by US Congressional Committee.

He was accused of "astonishing complacency" and of cutting corners to save money, among a number of other major criticisms and complaints (see link below).

During the course of the morning, Mr Hayward faced attacks from both politicians and the audience....

I like the audience's approach best.
