I don't trust the news because of the advertisers. I guess at what the real news must be when GE runs a big ad, or Shell, or BP.

I heard that during the roaring twenties more money was spent on advertising than education. That may not be the case now, but I think the news shows are guided by the money. That's why it's so important for Romney to to do away with Lehrer and all of PBS.

People watch Fox News and even though most of the personalities are in bed with Bain Capital; people watch it and think its news.

Until people wake up; the entities with the money will continue to guide and control the news.
