It's universal now. The entire media has been compromised. It's all Fox Lite. And the internet? Every discussion board has an army of sock puppets at the ready to defend big finance, the MIC, the insurance scam industry, entitlement cuts and free trade deals. I think the tax payer is unknowingly funding the Right Wing sock puppet army.

This nation is clear done.
