‘F*ck the Media’: Morgan Freeman Goes Off on Cable News over Baltimore

[For Freddie]

47. Who are they playing to?

I often wonder who watches MSM and believes it ? Then I call my 92 year old Mum and listen. All of her friends in her assisted living place were brought up on the radio and FDR's Fireside Chats. They still read the newspapers and they naively believe because it is in the paper and on CNN it must be the truth. While the rest of world sees it for what it is.

Why do they persist in this idiocy? It only fuels conflict and
the inevitable Fire Next Time. Are they so afraid of a united people that they continue to use passe communication to keep the present
dysfunctional system in place a few minutes longer? Is this their plan for stealing another election? The Big Lie has worn so thin it is hardly worth the money they spend. There must be great tax advantages.

This is all they got?
And the money spent on this crap could transform our society into a functional one. They still hammer on and on the Racist, Sexist, Homophobic bull shit of 100 years ago and as long as they are raking in the $$$ it seems to be all good.

So... We got Women, Blacks, Latinos, GBLT, New Immigrant citizens, and everyone else. They got Right Wing Crazies, Evangelicals, Oil Dragons , Israel,and the very wealthy. They use $$$ to offset their minority status, so they can float another fugazi win in an election. I don't think that is going to work this time.

As Jimmy Morrison said, "5 to 1, 1 to 5,
no one here gets out alive. You got the guns, we got the numbers."
As they say in AA, "Nothing changes if nothing changes".
This goes beyond votes and elections.

And when I explain to me Mum what is really happening all she says is "Those bastards". She wants to live long enough to see the change. I hope she makes it.
