One would think ...It's a masquerade, all right. One would think journalists would hold each other accountable, snitch on the suck-ups, point out the paid-off hucksters, but no such luck. They have drunk deep from the well of Kool-Aid that kills all integrity and conscience. They become a part of the problem instead of part of the solution.<br /><br />We must all remain vigilant and create our own media. Alternative journalists of the world unite!

I feel so sad for America when I see the network porno reality show that this election has become. Watching the knee deep slime being produced 24/7 is like a punch in the gut to all decent people. The lunatics have certainly taken over the asylum. One cannot help but feel utterly sick at heart with the realization that all that was decent about America has been systematically dismantled by an enormous criminal cabal. A mindless military juggernaut fueled by greed and death.<br /> The earth teeters on the brink of unprecedented catastrophe both from the climate and even nuclear war. The media response? The bought and paid for propaganda arms of both red and blue divisions of the corporatocracy will continue playing fiddles while the constitution and the nation burns.<br /> A slickly produced and highly polished turd masquerading as journalism in the post truth era. A bizarre porno reality game show with unimaginably high stakes.

And it's always to THEIR benefit, not to inform the public and with the public's best interests in mind.

Much like the Big Banks, Big Media needs to be broken up. Nobody should have that kind of power. A Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834159033854153921noreply@blogger.com
