“BBC to axe 450 newsroom jobs... That's because all mainstream media again, they are all repiping the same power structure information and propaganda. So they don't need reporters...”
Dane Wigington

Steven Moore
“The difference between mainstream fiction and literature is what their writers do with words; the former places its emphasis on the story rather than the language used to tell that story; in literature, the language is the story; that is, the story is primarily a vehicle for a linguistic display of the writer's rhetorical abilities.”
Steven Moore, The Novel: An Alternative History: Beginnings to 1600
