No wonder he barely spends anything on his campaign. The media does the job for him.

have proven how stupid we really are. It's kind of sickening that Trump is getting all this attention.

They've stolen OUR AIRWAVES and use them for propaganda purposes. They are bought and paid for by corporations and our government.

I hold them fully responsible for Donald Trump being so damn close to the White House! Had they ignored him, like he deserved, he would never have gotten this far. Instead, they DID/DO ignore the candidate WE THE PEOPLE want elected...BERNIE.

THEY'RE CRIMINALS.

PEACE
LOVE

End corporate media and have a Fourth Estate that focuses on stuff that affects peoples lives. And end the monopoly of Time-Warner and Comcast.

Edward R. Murrow is spinning in his grave.

And since we're on the topic, in an article I have next to me from UC Berkley Communications/Journalism Department (found it in dentist office), the percentage of change in the number of full-time statehouse newspaper reporters from 2003-2014 is -35%.

We should absolutely refuse the attempt to make us a "dumber" society. This is not China.

Really, they are a news filter, not a news source. It wasn't Fox that Swiftboated John Kerry.
Why do we have more trust in the MSM than other groups do?

Did CNN ever find that plane? or those missing blonde girls?
