Like the corporate media is waging a "war on truth." Why is there a calculated and organized war on truth in America?

Because the corporate media is waging a war on truth, they are the enemy to all of us who love America because hiding the truth is destroying America as we know it; the "free press" guerrillas are now the bloggers and the info sites and the forums (like this one),who are the insurgents against the assault on the truth.

Fighting the "war on truth" should be shouted loud and clear as a front and center campaign of all of us who love America.

on edit and afterthought: perhaps not a war on "truth" as much as a war on FACT. The corporate media has been waging a war on FACT for several decades now. Of course, calling it a war on "truth" is much more provocative.

Case in point: George W. Bush has commited a felony against the American people and violated his oath to protect and defend the Constitution with his warrentless spying. This is a FACT. This is TRUTH. But within days of this revelation, the corporate media entertained us with two sides of this FACT. They gave a forum to Repugs who came on MSNBC and Fox and CNN and spun the FACT into an uncertainty: was what he did really illegal? In FACT, yes. But the war on truth brought us uncertainty, and a result, debate.

The FACT of his violation of his oath of office has been covered over by the smoke bombs thrown in the war on truth.

by offering Mexico statehood. I propose that we annex Mexico as the 51st State; and in the process, we solve the cheap labor problem by requiring American businesses both here and in Mexico to abide by current U.S. labor law and the minimum wage.

Taxes are added to the treasury and joining the military for wages, benefits and job training would be beneficial to a new resource of recruits and would bolster the numbers in our stretched forces.

Just a thought.

We need an amendment to the Constitution that requires siblings, heirs, spouses, nieces, nephews, etc. to wait 20 years before being eligible for the Presidency. That way, we insure ourselves against and "elected" monarchy.

Since they feel so powerless and inadequate in their own lives, they make themselves feel powerful and superior by using religion to put others down.

That is projection and reflection. I figured out a long time ago that if you want to know how someone really feels about themself, check out how they make ME feel in their presence. People project their own self-esteem onto others and get something out of the "reflection" back, which is my response to how they make me feel.

on edit: I need to develop the habit of PROOFREADING before I post!

I agree totally with your observation.
