105. Since when does the MSM have the right to own our thoughts?

Fri Oct 12, 2012, 07:36 PM

Oct 2012

I had no idea Ryan supposedly won last night until I watched many of the MSM pundits today. I thought Biden gave a clearly decisive victory. Some in the media say it was tie and others said Biden went over the top with his emotions. So who actually owns the MSM? Are they supporters of a stronger more honest USA government for the people, or just for corporations and other countries? Why are they given a right to express what is just an opinion rather than giving us only the facts m'am, and nothing but the facts? The USA media have become a corrupt bunch who will remain that way and who wish to control us and profit rather than inform us.
