| 2. This show and Undercover Boss are there to convince... |
|
low information voters that rich people are human too and they really do care about the poor or their employees.
How many more of these blatant propaganda shows will we be subjected to? I will not watch this crap and I tell everyone I run across who wants to tell me about how wonderful they are the real purpose.
This is class warfare writ large and the propaganda is being catapulted into every home that has a TV connected to the networks or cable.
