The MSM (Main Stream Media) apparent shift to the right was total expected . Not an ideological path , or even a journalistic one for that mater. The MSM is not unlike the Sports Books on the Las Vegas strip, trying to balance wagers on both sides of the contest, making money no mater who wins.Especially in light of the "Citizens United" ruling by the Court, that allows corporations from the world over to influence American political races.But considering the incessant drive of Global Conquest by the U.S. maybe they should have a say. The illegality at a State level however should be clear. I digress. The MSM by directing their bias towards the underdog and compelling the polls to reflect an even money bet, on any political contest, realize the best profit$. Their intent and integrity should also be clear. The best Government money can buy. We must once again unite and opposed the insolent greed and disregard of the 1 %. As we celebrate our independence from the baron lords and oppression let each firework inspire us to restore the disillusionment of the electorate.
