But what do you expect when 80+% of media in the U.S. is owned by Wealthy Republicans?????????
They are all conspiring to divert our attention away from anything they don't want us to see or think about.....
AND fabricating and telling more lies than ever about everything and anything............

An excellent title of a book covering the past 40+ years would be: WHILE THE NATION SLEPT

Most Americans don’t have a problem with our President saying Putin ‘“cannot remain in power”

Most Ukrainians were happy to hear it.

The media is trying to turn it into a problem.

Biden could walk on water, and they'd make fun of him for not being able to swim.

Targeting the demographics of American audiences in an effective and efficient method is their raison d'être for achieving greater value for share holders.

Unfortunately, this is what For-Profit Media is.
