The NCAA. :mrgreen:

Corruption is everywhere indeed but the corruption of the media is especially troubling due to it's influence on the big issues like War, Finance, etc.

I did find it interesting to learn though that NBC was allegedly throwing massive amount so cash at Jon Stewart to take over the reigns of Meet the Press. Meet the Press was a shining example of access driven establishment media where you could always get the big names as long as you didn't ask to many tough questions. Russert was decent at this, the last guy was a master.

Stewart may have been the opposite.

All I have to say, is..

There's a reason they're not telling you about the giant owl..

.. and I'm pretty sure it's because of either 1. Bribing or 2. Intimidation or 3. Self Censorship

I saw an owl fly across the moon during the eclipse Wednesday morning. It won't be long now...
