viking disagreeing with someone is one thing - disagreeing with someone who steers direction of thinking of millions (on top of that very ill informed) viewers/readers is another.
haven't done your "101 of marketing" reading, have you?

I don't support any media but I support dissenting opinions even when i disagree.
See the problem is with you guys is....
You want to shut down what you disagree with.
As you all call for FOX NEWS to be shut down (foaming at the mouth I may ad) I have never once mentioned the shutting down of CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Media Matters and Other Far Left Wing organizations. Why? Because I believe people have the right to SPEAK their mind even if you disagree.
QBN, Is just like the 100th monkey theory.
Can we say ClockWorkOrange?
Which one of you is going to start attacking citizens you disagree with?
I simply try to listen to both sides of an argument
- yet my beliefs bring me towards libertinism.VikingKingEleven
- are you stoned? You don't make much sensefadein11
- fox news is part of a military program run by the us govt, it will never get shut downscarabin
- There is no 'shutting down' going on, stop saying shutting down!joshtrix
- sorry but fox news is a farce and a travesty, wake up. If you like what they are saying great, but its not news, its propaganda.duhsign

CNN - far left organisation - TRIPLELOL...

This (the content of the link above) is a UK media takover issue. Nobody's mentioned Fox News. Nobody's mentioned shutting down any other news outlet. You're the one typing out Fox News news in unnecessary capital letters - in a thread that is populated largely by yourself.

- ..and getting in angry in notes in which only you've posted. Frustrating talking with idiots, eh?Fax_Benson

Brainwashed, yeah

Shit, I actually remember that thread.Continuity

He's a troll - move along. Nothing to see here.

Viking, your claims that you know better shows how limited your understanding of impact of the media on our thinking is. If people knew better and indeed could make-up their mind then corporations wouldn't pour in billions of dollars into advertising to steer the customers into thinking that their product is better then that of competitors.
It's physically impossible for one person to know it all about everything thus it's important to have "fair and balanced" (by their actions not slogans) media that give the people access to bits of information in relatively unobtrusive way as people will have to make up their mind based on the limited amount of information they have on the subject.

Anyway, Viking, your argument makes no sense at all.
The whole Murdoch petition thing is about preventing him from monopolising the media in the UK. It's not about dissenting opinions.
See the title on the petition site:
'24 hours to stop Murdoch's UK media takeover'

Viking is a Fox lapdog.
- Either that or Hedge.Continuity
- Just go read his posts in the politics thread.severian
- I'd rather spare myself the aggravation, if it's all the same to you.Continuity

I think he must have left... shame really. This thread had classic QBN potential.

Yeah how many papers does he own again?
If one company buys up all the media in a country and uses it to push their agenda supporting one side of the government, is that still libertarian? Seems more fascist/ authoritarian to me.

Media concentration doesn't allow for dissenting opinions, it homogenizes and elevates a select perspective to create the false impression that it represents the majority.
