So Donald Trump has now publicly stated that he is not going to release his tax returns. One reason he gives for this is that he is being audited by the IRS and does not want to run into trouble. Really? Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Concentration of media ownership (also known as media consolidationor media convergence) is a process whereby progressively fewer individuals or organizations control increasing shares of the mass media.[1]Contemporary research demonstrates increasing levels of consolidation, with many media industries already highly concentrated and dominated by a very small number of firms
Globally, large media conglomerates include Viacom, CBS Corporation, Time Warner, 21st Century Fox and News Corp (the former News Corporation, split in 2013), Bertelsmann AG, Sony, Comcast, Vivendi, Televisa, The Walt Disney Company, Hearst Corporation, Organizações Globo and Lagardère Group.

The Media has become your Political Adviser thru what they say or don't say, they are no longer News or Reporters, they have used the power of the press that was illegal 20 years ago as a monopoly of influence for profit.
They say its what the PEOPLE Want or Don t Want, that's what they are telling you, such as the people don't care if Trump reports his Taxes, people do need to know if he is destitution, easily black mailed we need to see his tax reports, now.
Screw the Media and Trump!

(84,711 posts)He is allowed to get away with anything by the MSM...and believe me...there are "Reporters Who Know" ...but, given that they have little voice and backing these days to be "Truth Tellers" they aren't going to report ....YET.... Until "Their Bosses" give the Okay.
We have so little backing/funding for Investigative Reporting these days...that it will take awhile for Trumps Tax Statements to be revealed. The "Corporate Whores" need time to figure out "Which Candidate" they think will win before they unleash their Paid For and Owned Media to reveal what they already have.
