Bad Enough GOP Lies Go Unanswered The MSM Is Making Stuff Up Too.

GOP absolute lies go unchallenged. What makes things worse is the MSM is either making stuff up like Fox Noise or they ignore the facts. We are seeing the repeat of the 2000 election where the media is doing all it can beating up on the Democratic front runner. And they also are doing all they can to WIN the 2016 election for the Republicans no matter how bad they are.

We have huge problem in this country with one of the most corrupt MSM in the last 50 years. We can no longer depend on the fourth estate to safeguard democracy or even any semblance of truth. Dictators and evil politicians come to power under such a media.

We must find a way to correct the situation. And we must break up the media conglomerates. Even with a somewhat independent social media it will be a tough slog.

We must remember there are significant areas of the country where the corrupt media is the only vehicle of information.

It's so liberating. I don't have any temptation to listen to that SHIT, because I don't have access, and I don't have the insult of being charged big money to pay to listen to lies, fluff, and bullshit questions along the lines of, "Tell me, Mr. Huckabee, how has your faith affected your politics?"
