The solution is actually very simple. You complain about Morgan, yet you watch and listen to him. Start to IGNORE him. Do not watch him and do not listen to him. One thing that both he and the networks do know is RATINGS. As long as he has a following, he has a job. They don't care what you think of him, just that you are watching and listening to him. You want him gone? IGNORE him. His ratings drop and the networks will replace him. Think about it logically. Cause and effect. What gives him his job? RATINGS. What is capable of losing his job for her? RATINGS.

He's the guy that's not criticizing his own country.

Rush Limbaugh follows the same tactic. Be brash and offensive, and people will listen. What Alex Jones did the other night was strategic, he deliberately upstaged Piers (some might say that comes across as overly aggressive and brash) but he did it because people will talk about it, and it worked. When Limbaugh says something outrageous, the liberals start tripping up all over themselves in outrage, fueling his popularity and ratings.

Governments do not give up power that easily.

Do you REALLY think the new president of Egypt wants a free people?

That would be a good start.

Just ignore him. In the bigger scheme of things he doesn't matter.
Wrong.

We aren't watching him. That's not what he wants and loves.

He'll be gone from CNN by the beginning of summer.

Count on it.

I believe I listened to Limbaugh about twice, years ago, and pegged him as a lunatic. Haven't listened to him ever since. I've listened to Morgan about the same, and don't think any better of him. I don't need some kind of "mouth" to tell me what I've heard and what I'm thinking. I can decide things for myself. America puts far too much stock in these guys. Let them dry up and blow away. We'll all be far better off.

Put down the crack pipe and sober out. Then, listen to the sources, not the repetition, and make up your own minds. They calculate the language (wordage) they're going to use, to make the effect on you greater. Believe it or not, it's a form of mass hypnosis. And, you're all susceptible.

(No, I'm not suggesting that anyone on CD does crack. But, there are a number of people out there that do, and they also talk politics whether they have facts straight or not. And, they only add to the hysteria.)

Alex Jones sounds like he's talking through a voice synthesizer.

And it shows!!!! Sadly, I might add. OTOH, there is only room enough for one at the top, and the USA is it.

Judging by your grossly incorrect mischaracterization of the Voice of America, Rush Limbaugh.....your post could benefit from a "tutor" so to speak.
