The proper term is the corporate media (see <a href="http://www.commoncause.org/site/pp.asp?c=dkLNK1MQIwG&b=4923173">http://www.commoncause.org/site/pp.asp?c=dkLNK1MQIwG&b=4923173</a>). There are six mega corporations that own most of the TV stations, Cable TV networks, newspapers, magazines, textbook companies, movie studios, radio stations etc etc. The corporate version of reality is making US citizens some of the most ignorant in the industrialized. Please stop using that inaccurate label mainstream for what is corporate. Corporate does not = mainstream. Mainstream is most of the folks in the US.</div><div><br></div><div>Ed Oberweiser</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Dec 2, 2013, at 11:49 PM, Mark Safron wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=us-ascii"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div><h1 class="title" style="font-family: Georgia, Palatino, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.25em; color: rgb(75, 75, 75); -webkit-hyphens: manual;"><b><font size="4">5 Ways Our Lives Are Being Violated by Corporate Greed</font></b></h1><p style="font-family: Georgia, Palatino, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 25px; font-size: 17px;">We already pay dearly for energy, medicine, banking, and telecommunications services.
