Free Air Waves | 12.06.2008 15:52 | Animal Liberation | Anti-militarism | Ecology | World

promotion of war, deforestation of animal habitat, pricegouging, muzzling of third party candidates,
materialism mongering, advertising pieces of mutilated animals,
promotion of rodeo and hunting

If you have options besides Time Warner, please use them.

Time Warner
1. on CNN promotes war
2. on Time Warner cable stations advertises pieces of
murdered animal
3. is responsible for the scheduled end of free television after
60 years in the US.. scheduled for next year
(Bill Clinton signed the mid 90's Telecommunication Act
which concentrated the holdings of Time Warner, Rupert
Murdoch and others)
4. Time Warner has used monopoly tactics everywhere..
It has been particularly aggressive in fighting low cost
or free internet access in Philadelphia.
5. Time Warner pricegouges with absurdly high rates
for internet access, cable, and phone
6. Time Warner requires payment in advance each month,
has a variety of add on charges from $5 for electronic bill
payment, to late charges.
7. Time Warner does not notify people that their deposits
are available for return when they close their accounts
8. Time Warner illegally pressures people to give social
security numbers (as does ATT), not informing them that a request for this number is illegal and that they
have a privacy right to refuse.
10. Time Warner and ATT illegally hold social security data
on hundreds of millions of Americans
11. Time Warner's service is below standard, with queues of
30 to 50 people waiting in line in some cities.
12. Time Warner promotes materialism .
13. Time Warner profiteers from election ads, while
European democracies give all candidates publicly funded
access.
14. Time Warner excludes third party and peace candidates
in the 2 biggest parties from media coverage and debate.
15. Time Warner's magazines such as Time, Sports Illustrated,
Warner Books are involved
in deforestation, destruction of animal habitat, are factors
in increased global heating.
16. Time Warner Cable promotes barbaric rodeos and hunting
shows.
17. Through its preponderance of fast food advetising, Time
Warner has been a big factor in making America the world's
fattest nation.
18. Time Warner excludes Muslims from anchor and reporter
positions, has a much lower percentage of Muslim employees
than their percent of the population.
19. War promotion cartels control radio with warwhore
shockjocks like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. But on
tv, the 2 way street is totally blocked. The citizens of the
US are muzzled. TV is a one way programming machine.
20. Subliminal advertising has been a frequent tool of
electronic media.
21. The people of the US are the owners of our air waves.
Yet these airwaves have been rented at firesale prices to
war profiteers who make hundreds of billions of dollars off of
them while charging the citizens for access to their own air
waves.
22. Time Warner has bought politicians from national to local
in a variety of ways.. including paying for bar tabs at local
watering holes.
23. Time Warner's promotion of pornography has lowered community standards, has aroused the ire of the Muslim
world. Sports Illustrated portrays women as objectified pieces
of meat.
24. Sports Illustrated covers extensively the Masters tournament in
August Georgia which excludes women.
25. Time Warner is used to covering the news. When it does
air whistleblowers, it is usually about past and not present
wars. When the military objected to its story about the use
of sarin gas by the military to murder defectors in Vietnam,
CNN not only retracted the story. It fired the whistleblowers.

God dismantle the warmonger media machines and return
now the airwaves to the people.
