The Big Lie and discrediting the media.

Well our MSM has been corrupted by corporate influence for DECADES now. That has perverted "the press" from a constituttionally defined institution to provide the checks and balances needed for a healthy Democracy to just another corporate division with the primary purpose TO MAXIMIZE SHAREHOLDER VALUE.

We do still have some credible practicing journalists out there but any affiliated with BIG MSM - like MSNBC for example, simply spew manufactured info that best serves their corporate bottom line. Yeah - the Les Moonves quote - "Trump may not be good for America, but he sure is good for CBS" - how PATRIOTIC, RIGHT?

Sadly, the treacherous cretin may have a point about the current state of our FAKE MSM! It is hopeful that the MSM corporate overlords allow occasional outbursts of actual journalism like Tapper on CNN recently. But, it does seem like "the men behind the curtain" and the PTB's have completely lost control of the stark raving lunatic I doubt any of them wanted because he can't be bought. Bribed, blackmailed and corrupted maybe. But not bought!
