MEDIA NO BETTER THAN NAZI PROPAGANDISTS

Re Police Offer Tips on Spotting indoor Marijuana Crops (July 2)

On and on it goes with the media falling over themselves promoting our
oppressive drug laws, whose only purpose is to distract and entertain
the majority by persecuting an innocent minority.

Are we better than the Nazis because our drug laws threaten an
innocent minority with jail rather than with execution? I think not.

Are you better than the Nazi-controlled media that distributed
Hitler's hateful propaganda. I believe you are worse, much worse,
because you have the freedom to present a balanced picture but,
perhaps to support wealthy media owners who fear giving too much
freedom to the "common rabble,"choose not to do so.
