Why is it that the American people allow our news media to report misinformation and half truths every morning and every night?
I was told by a person who was born under the Brezhnev era, of the Soviet Union that, “The American press is no better than the Soviet Union’s media under Stalin and Brezhnev; they both screen the news, they filter the news and they only tell you what they want you to hear.”
Why do the people in New England have to hear about all the tragedies that happen on the west coast. How is it that ABC, CBS, NBC as well as CNN, FOX, etc all report the same stories almost ever night, and in almost the same order.
How can that be if our news organizations are all independent from each other. What are the odds of that happening almost every night in any other industry, except for our media here in the United States? Why do the American public listen to “The News”?
Another question I have, why have we the American public allowed our political leaders, both in state and federal government to use our political systems for the politician’s personal gains, as well as for their special interest groups’ gains. It’s well known that this is the way these Pols get reelected year in and year out, ” just for one more term.
I ask these question, because I want to understand just what is the American public really thinking about?
I personally feel that the media is being used by the politicians and the media is more than pleased to be used, because the media extracts vast amounts of money; hundreds of millions of dollars from most all political elections, as the pol tries to stack the deck as he/she runs for office, just one more time.
I also feel that our politicians are used by certain groups of ethnic groups who control certain industries. These industries are very powerful and have a huge influence as to who will get elected into any office within our country, to include the Presidency of the United States.
Once the candidate wins then they just sold their sole to these ethnic groups/ organizations. The Pol is kept in line as to how they should vote on issues that effect these special groups bot domestic and foreign. The control is not very subtle; it boils down to will that ethnic group back the Pol’s reelection, will that ethnic organization be behind this or that candidate or not.
If they vote the way they are told then we are stuck with this crooked politician for another term, whatever it may be.
