WHY DIDN'T WE INCLUDE...
These Audio News and Video News Programs

National Public Radio (NPR)

Because they rely far too heavily on parroting government and corporate statements, with almost zero investigation or questioning of the corrupt corp-gov cabal; plus the level of irrelevant cultural programming in their hard-core news programs is waaay too high

NewsHour with Jim Lehrer

Because guests almost always come from the pool of "usual suspects" that argue the left-right facets of the same lie

Air America

We haven't listened to that much Air America, but we don't see much point in a liberal/Democrat version of right-wing/Republican talk radio. The two-party power monopoly—and banker/corporate control of it—is the problem!

CNN/MSNBC/Fox/etc

So much potential, so little to see or hear
