(8,806 posts)have been gobbling up ownership of our news media for decades. TV, Cable, print media........someone once told me that 80% of all U.S. media is owned by like 8 wealthy republicans......not sure, but the way they all report the news I could believe it!!!!!!!!!
there used to be rules about how much public media could be owned by one person or one entity. Like one or two.
Reagan (HW Bush, Cheney, etc) changed it to have no limits as I have remember...............
The 1980 "election" should have been a wake up call to everyone...But for alot of people, they just figured they had all done their duty of voting and that the elected officials would actually go to Washington and do what they promised, run the county as they preached they would do during their campaigns.........
I became politically active in about 1981 when I saw all the shit Reagan's administration was doing. Things that would be extremely destructive to Americans at that time, and most assuredly in the future years and decades......
And here we are folks................Nixon, Reagan, HW Bush, W Bush, and the current Senate Republicans, The Republican controlled Dept. Of Jusice, the Republican Controlled Supreme Court, This totally corrupt Republican President, an ever increasing number of Republican Judges across the entire U.S. Court system, and on and on and on.......
Oh, and don't forget the 65 million voters they have brainwashed to assist in this nearly completed Check Mate Coup.......
