I should think that Danny Schechter belong to same group with the Mozilos, the O,Neals and the Princes of the American society and is using this write-up to forestall opening-up his own unknown obscenity. If not for C-SPAN, how could we have known the obscene thought of people like Danny Schechter?

If it wasn’t for C-SPAN you might never even have HEARD about the way corporations are involved in the law-making of our country. Why fine C-SPAN for reporting the truth? Try running the lobbyists out of Washington politics instead! Try fining the unscrupulous, greedy CEOs who rip off consumers and taxpayers and citizens, for their own personal bank accounts, and for never giving anything back to the country that has allowed them this power. They prove that capitalism is a double-edged sword. They prove that uncontrolled and unregulated capitalism will destroy our great country by basically bankrupting it and thrusting most citizens into poverty. The reason that anyone can see what it does is because of honest, unedited media like C-SPAN!

What else can you expect for a system named for its’ ONLY interest, its’ ONLY concern (CAPITAL), in contrast to a horrably humaine one deriving its’ name from ITS’ primary concern, ie: Society…???

The most important news story of the century apart from the wreckage of our Constitution may be the creation of a corporate-government collective “elite class”; these are incompetent minds who have been funneled 85% of the money in the country. How could this happen silently, with no press coverage, no headlines, no Congressional investigation, no public outrage? What sort of brainwashing by diciator-powermongers would that have to represent? Mr. Schechter is right here without argument…forget the single individuals–”singled out” here in this shocking and unAmerican case of corruption, avarice and anti-individual-rights; one was paid for total failure; the second for nothing as he departed; the third sold stock in his company while the organization was buying stock, a clear conflict of interest. Crimes in each case. Add up the amount top-tier unscientific minds are paid as boss-tsar exectuives in this benighted bureaucracy-ridden former country–and the effect on the cost of everything manufactured or provided as service in this nation becomes staggering–between 30 and 70 percent of any organization’s corporate operatng expenses (not one is a company nor participates in a real marketplace) are sucked up to pay these ‘vampires’ who drain the lifeblood of the corporation, act in a cruel, anti-merit, non-defining, unethical manner; they commit moral crimes against the Earth that many of them pollute, send our jobs overseas, downsize verything but their outrageous compensations; and all the while they are not being taxed–while the rest of us without rights in the area of work of competition for positions of leadership go down the toilet of their public-interest totalitarianism, presidd over by a do-nothing executive branch and an emasculated Congress. This is an abomination. What these men were paud was not “legal” even by the statist standards of the imperial prisdential right-wing government we have. A free citizen prospers in reality by his efficacy and scientific capability in performance, not leveraged dictatorship ploys. He then retires on his Social Security or private already-held monies, sans bonus, investments, etc.,—but not on both; SS payments were for the needy, those unable or victimized by injustice so they could not earn enough to retire upon. Mark my words: this is the story of the next century. The deadly strruggle by victims of an evil neo-fascistic neo-altruistic empire of non-scientific “bosses” to break the grip on their lives, their nation and their money has already begun. Mr. Schechter’s tongu-ein-cheek dismissal of the single investigation, notwithstanding, this is a battel to restore the Americanism in a no-longer-American constitution–before it is too late for all of us.

I concur there is a foul stench in the air. Millions to bail out the ripoffs and nothing for the broken people. The media barons look after the other Robber Barons.
