DIRTY LIES or DIRTY TRUTHS!
The National Conference for Media Reform
is an event you don't want to miss. Thousands of media reformers from across the country will converge in Memphis, Tennessee on Jan. 12-14, 2007. 
There is something going on under our noses and behind our backs, concerning our media access to reliable and truthful news reporting.
The media conglomerates, mega mergers and Concentration of Ownership has greatly diminished (if not crippled altogether) our right to receive honest reporting of US and World happenings. You may wonder why this has been allowed to happen. In a word, PROFITS.
Local news is disappearing and in it's place are large corporate media giants that will give you only one side of the events from around the globe and locally. Corporate media headquarters will be peddling, what they want you to believe and convince you how to behave. Whether it be to hate, love war, scandal mongering of their opponents, or whatever is in their best interests, you will only hear and see what they want you to digest. A one sided bias account of faux bulletins. This is how they control, this is how they retain power and this is how they sustain enormous profits.
Their goals are to ensure that the 'great beast', as Alexander Hamilton called the people (the masses) does not stray from their proper confines -- paraphrased from Noam Chomsky's book 
HEGEMONY OR SURVIVAL--
by Noam Chomsky
Metropolitan Books
2003
Noam Chomsky's latest book, "Hegemony or Survival," presents a view of American foreign policy, which lies in stark contrast to that depicted by corporate media, popular pundits, and US heads of state. With the fall of the Soviet Union, the US has emerged as the preeminent superpower of the world and Chomsky dissects with meticulous research how the United States has chosen to leverage that position to pursue an "imperial grand strategy", which will ensure itself "unilateral world domination through absolute military superiority".

PS: Watch the below powerful interview with the Dixie Chicks on Hardball. They tell, how media control tried to destroy them.
Here is another reason why it is so important, we have an open and honest media: The only time George W. Bush and his Neo-cons utter the words "BRING THE TROOPS HOME", is when they are in coffins. Yet, those images have been blacked out by our supposedly free government! thinkingblue
98 U.S. GIs killed in Iraq this month
(so far this month of October 2006) 
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military said Saturday that a Marine had been killed in restive Anbar province, raising to 98 the number of American forces killed in Iraq during October, the fourth deadliest month since the
war began in March 2003. 
The Marine, assigned to Regimental Combat Team 5, died Friday from "wounds sustained due to enemy action," in the western province, the military said in a statement.
The name of the Marine is withheld pending notification of the family.
There have been only three months in which more U.S. forces died in Iraq:
107 in January 2005; at least 135 in April 2004, and 137 in November 2004.
At least 2,811 members of the U.S. military now have died since the
beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press
count. The figure includes seven military civilians. At least 2,254 died as
a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers.
