Remember when news was called Journalism and was known as the "forth estate" or the peoples press? The Pentagon Papers? Iran Contra? It wasn't really that long ago....50 years or so.
Now look what it has become! Most don't even trust it any more.
All we know is owned, bought, and paid for, or funded by one corporation or another.... including our government.
Journalism is dead! Long live propaganda, reality shows that are anything but, and sports to occupy the masses, commercials to tell you how to dress, eat, where to shop, which bank will serve you best (

), and what politician to vote for.
It all reminds me of a scene from "the jerk" when the guy asks what he can win.... "Ah, anything... in this general area, right in here. Anything, below the stereo, and on this side of the Bicentennial glasses. Anything between the ashtray, and the thimbles. Anything in this three inches. Right in here, this area, that includes the Chiclets, but not the erasers."
