Well, it's true that "they" control mainstream media, and if they control anyone's minds, it's only because peoples' minds are very susceptible to manipulation because they are stupid. It's not as if "they" send any kind of unified message, other than maybe "buy our stuff". The fact of the matter is that if you have a message that displeases mainstream media, you're going to be stuck blogging it on the Internet, because mainstream media won't touch it. Mainstream media does not like the Internet much. Of course, a big reason your message doesn't satisfy mainstream media might be because it is utter bollocks. There's a lot of bollocks on the Internet.Ovisterra wrote:You're still expecting me to believe a completely outlandish claim with no evidence whatsoever. I'm as mistrustful of very large businesses as anyone, but the whole "The ebil corporations are controlling the mainstream media and your minds!" thing is ridiculous, and I'm frankly quite insulted that you think I'd accept something like that with no evidence or other reason to believe it.
