An earthquake in NYC? What the frack?

Truth be told, I didn’t even feel the earthquake that hit New York City on August 23…but I sure felt the (corporate and social) media aftershocks.

Missing from almost all post-quake reportage was any mention of hydraulic fracturing in the Marcellus Shale watershed—a black shale formation extending deep underground from Ohio and West Virginia northeast into Pennsylvania and southern New York.

The media is as liberal as the corporations that own it

Perhaps my favorite illustration of life in a corporate propaganda state is the daily New York Times corrections box. Each morning, the newspaper of record comes clean about what it got wrong the day before.

Of course, the tacit message behind the daily New York Times corrections box is this: Besides a few minor typographical errors, everything else in yesterday’s paper was correct. It was accurate.
