22. That is why it is so dangerous to have a complicit MSM 'protecting' the corrupt....
If you investigate the corruption in the MSM consolidation like Edwards says he will do, you will begin to put some pressure on the obvious corruption that is overflowing on Capitol Hill.

Once media scrutiny is reestablished, pressure will be brought to bear on members of Congress who ignore the clear evidence of corruption that the MSM unearths and reports.

It takes 'an outsider' to go up against the corporate money and the influence it buys on Capitol Hill. So campaign finance reform is the wooden stake that must be driven through the heart of the corporate controllers.

Once the media is broken up to allow more voices to be heard, and the influence of corporate money is reduced, you can then set about holding members of Congress accountable when they act against the interests of the American People.

THis is not a one term job for the next PResident, but John Edwards could certainly make a good start. And until we put someone in the Oval Office who is not afraid to go after the prior corrupt Administration, we will continue to see the same power and influences resurge in the future.
