Help Phil do his homework

[Yoru]

My thanks to everyone who responded.  I certainly didn't expect so many of you!  As a follow-up, if anyone's interested:

Are you aware of who is in control of your media outlets?  Is it a large conglomeration such as Viacom, or is it privately owned and operated?

The websites? Yeah, it's Arizonan PS3 fanboys, random intertards or a group of hard-drinkin' dudes in North Carolina. Everything else comes from random media conglomerates or some arm thereof. Atlus being an exception.

Going to try this without looking it up (since I assume that would defeat the purpose), so bear with me.

I know the News Hour is owned/produced/something by some conglomerate that also owns Starzz, QVC, and has some involvement with News Corp. As for the BBC... well... yeah. For the random stuff that shows up on Google News or regular TV, conglomerates, the lot of them.

The Illuminati and The Jews is what I had always assumed...

a. What websites do you visit daily or weekly?
b. What shows or stations do you watch?
c. What radio stations do you listen to?
d. What video games do you play?
e. What are the last few movies you have seen?
f. Who are your favorite bands, comedians, artists?
g. Where do you get your news?
h. Do you subscribe and or read any newspapers or magazines (online or print)?

a. f13 mostly. A bunch of other random stuff as it occurs to me.

b. Science educational tv, DIY how-to programming, political humor.

c. I do not listen to radio, Clear Channel has killed it. Maybe some NPR or Little Steven's show if I'm tired of the tapes in my truck.

d. Heh. Bioshock and EQ2 currently, we'll skip the long list.

e. Just watched Anchorman again. Don't watch a lot of movies.

f. Bands: too many to list. Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Juinor Wells, Mars Volta, Rush, Willie Nelson, it's a massive list. Comedians: I like a lot, but George Carlin is The Man. Artists, I tend to like a variety of non-modern artists...anything that's not Warholly or Pollacky. More classical fine art, less modern art.

g. I like news aggregators like Google News that present a variety of sources. I try to find sources with an opposite bias of the news we are bombarded with by corporate america and try to suss out the truth in between.

h. I read the local paper daily. I sub to some guitar magazines and some tech magazines I have gift subs to for the library (I started a whole movement to gift subscribing from the staff to fill out niches). I also sub to Cook's Illustrated and my fiancee subs to Consumer Reports. We like both and they're ad-free.

Follow-up: no. I always assume any source I'm reading is heavily biased and try to balance it by reading opposing sources. I try to reflect my belief that you should always consider a situation from all sides. I don't watch mainstream US media, except for Olbermann, if you can consider that mainstream, it's more infotainment imo.

Hey, wanted to thank everyone who responded one last time.  I got a B on the paper, woo!

[Evildrider]

Grats.. but if you weren't slackin on here, that could have been an A!   :-D

The Illuminati and The Jews is what I had always assumed...

It has taken we Rosicrucians hundreds of years to achieve this illusion.

Actually, it is lizards.  No, seriously, alien lizards.  David Icke has been fighting to let the world know for several years.
