  Robert Gill When the story is not in line with the corporate media's philosophy, ignore the story. Not reported is the same as didn't happen.

  Bill Kunze Phil had a great program. He got fired because he was telling the truth. The networks did the same thing to the Smothers Brothers years earlier. We don't have many honest, truthful voices left anymore.

  Brian Williamson In a democracy this shouldn't happen. This is no democracy. Hasn't been for some time. Any thoughts to that effect are delusional.

  Angel Garcia It's too bad for everyone that went over there that the media didn't have the courage to speak out, even at the cost or their own career if necessary, that's your job.
