I remember back when the news was just 15 Min long with 1-2 commercials, now you have a orchestrated agenda to form a opinion from political party to whom you hate today.

At one point we had people in the media you could trust giving them the benefit of the doubt is just naive at this point.

Oil Co. that want favorable news will spend millions or even keep news stories from being in the head lines.

At some point they will no longer care about public opinion because they will have so much power to buy elections rather than have voters count in any significance.
