Peter Zeihan - Why Can't We Trust the Media? (AKA Propaganda)

An interesting piece in today's post. I would also add to his analysis the tendency for every news organization to put out smaller and smaller sound bites so you don't even hear the story from the subject themselves, but the media spin with a few words from that subject.

They even started election season already because trump wanted to divert attention from his crimes against us all.
When is the last time you tuned into a cable news channel and they were talking about actual news? Politics and long commercials then the same same all over again all day. Nah.
