2. the second worst: Rupert Murdoch's rags. From the New York Post to the Australian, Murdoch has managed to turn his version of the world's press into one big gossip column. He has done for honest news reporting what Maralyn Manson has done for rock music--made the whole bloody thing as evil as he could. Still, he's not the worst.

1. the worst of the worst: Ted Turner beats Murdoch by a mile, because at least most realize Murdoch's papers are trashy. Ted, husband to Hanoi Jane and owner of CNN ("http://cnn.com"), TBS, TNT, Turner Classic Movies, etc., makes Clinton look like a truthsayer and righteous-type. Example: Here's a guy who, though one of the richest men in the world and owner of one of the world's biggest media empires, claimes to be a socialist!!!!! And has ALWAYS claimed to be a socialist!!!!! (Don't believe me? then go to "http://www.worldnetdaily.com" and type in Ted Turner in their search engine to find out--I do not lie on this one, folks!)

So, in other words, here is a man who has made his fortune thanks to capitalism, claiming to be a Marxist! (Now we know why he married Hanoi Jane! Birds of a feather, eh?)

Anyone who knows anything about Marxism--and I do, because I used to be one--knows that Marxists lie through their teeth, propogate propaganda, and give nothing but the official line. The "politically correct" line.

Want to know who came up with the notion of "political correctness"?

Answer: Mao Tse-tung. You know, Chairman Mao? Cultural Revolution? Fifty million murders?

Yeah, that Chairman Mao!

Hi, Altascribe: Thanks for the comment and for reading my stuff. When I said my local paper was bad it was because they wouldn't report the truth since that would have hurt their controlling interests ...

Hi Deborah: I'm reading your stuff and though I agree with your other four, I am not able to comment on your local disaster. However, I would like to point out that it seems to me that community news ...

For the past three weeks I have given my Top Ten and Bottom Five in the media this century (even though it isn't over until January 1, 2001). What are yours? And, do you think mine are way out of line ...
