(10,494 posts)TPTB own the networks/media and do not want the 4th estate to do their jobs. People need to wake up to the shadow government we have been under. TPTB own the politicians through legal bribes (campaign contributions), Super PACs, dark money, and the revolving door. They control the regulatory agencies who do not have the budgets to do their jobs if they wanted to, which they don't.
We can fight against the symptoms of this all day long, or go after the root problem of campaign finance reform. Both Parties have been co-opted.
We are about to enter the Plutocratic Presidency. We need to get smart and stop being reactionary.
