WHY?
Isn't the Media supposed to ask basic questions, like Who, Where, When and Why. Why haven't we heard any explanation of Why people will support Republicans in this election.. What will Republicans do to make anything better? WHY? Why do they feel Republicans will improve the economy when they are the one's that created the problems in the first place? WHY? Is it just Hatred for Democrats? WHY? I have not heard a single "journalist" ask that question...Are they afraid of the answers, or the lack of any?

1. Those days are over
Once upon a time, there was a media. I was part of it. We asked tough questions, investigated chicanery, and wrote about those who abused power.

There ain't no media anymore. It's all corporate-owned, corporate-focused corporate propaganda. Even though I've been out of newspaper journalism for 13 years, and unemployed for 2 years, I'm thankful that I'm not a member of the corporate "media".

2. Why do you expect the Propaganda arm of the Republican party to ask those questions?

It's time to face facts. They aren't objective and it's not an accident. It's deliberate, as in it's corrupt to the core.

I'm not exaggerating, or making things up. The corruption is systemic and quite real. It may not be pleasant to face the facts, but it'll be better if we're aware of the facts.
