Corporate Media is the News
Their selling controversy, not journalism. Selling conflict, not facts. Selling ratings, not information.
They don't care about low information voters, they depend on it. They breed it.
They don't care if trump sells us out to Putin and his interest and fosters the rise of fascism as long as they can get the exclusive.
While Sanders was all but ignored and Clinton was buried in emails, a narcissistic and racist and bigoted and fascist sexual predator, who has done a dozen things that would have ended any presidential candidate's aspirations in the past, got live, non-stop coverage of an empty podium he would eventually stand at.
The media, unashamedly, helped create this mess. They continue to do little to stop it.
