The MSM is now like the WWF, full of shit fake, we know it, but we love it as if it was for real.

America is doomed forever to be under the thumb of a media that defines fracking for natural gas as merely injecting sand and water into the ground, delivering the Big Lie in such a believable way, not a twitch.

The American media is officially the enemy of the 99%, with that one big lie they seem to have delivered a declaration of war on the truth.

And now the right wing witchling Laura Ingraham to deliver her shiny big cross version of expertise and truth as defined by ABC news?

What more evidence do people need?

and are less likely to complain or turn it off. Liberals will watch and obsess about Fox News but you don't see the reverse. You don't see conservatives doing 30 min comedy newscasts that obsess over everything Rachel Maddow said.

This data is embarrassing:

You have to be very picky, but real information is delivered via this medium. Television will never present real reporting ever again.
