Post in Major Incident at Critical Mass bike rally

Jordan,

What you mean <gasp> that the police would lie and those bastions of freedom of
the press at the corporate Star Tribune would simply uncritically repeat those
lies? While ensuring that those possible victims of police brutality be shut
out? Almost reminds one of the media repeating another lie about weapons of
mass destruction.

Why, I am shocked, shocked I tell you. Although the Strib is much too busy
reporting on critical issues such as sidewalks v's no sidewalks in the suburbs.

You would almost swear that the media in this town (and nationwide) was so
corrpted by corporate influence that they would be deemed trustworthy as a
source of information to the public.

Next you will tell me that the media which flat out refuses to inform the
public on events critical to us all is the biggest threat to democracy we all
face.

Thanks "reporters" of the Star Tribune, WCCO, KSTP and all those other
corporate media types. Why without your gallant work, the public may remain
ignorant of the world we live in.

Fortunately, some of us do know already that the corporate media is not even
close to being trustworthy for information, quite the opposite. That is why I
put the Twin Cities Indy media article out there right away.
