11. Then ignore it. I would prefer the media would talk about Chained CPI and what it really means.

I wish they would talk about the imminent threat to Net Neutrality.

I wish they would talk about the secret Trade Agreement.

I wish they would talk about the money we are spending on all of our foreign interventions.

Mostly I wish they would talk about stolen elections and War Criminals and Wall St criminals.

Among other things, like Money in Politics eg and how it has corrupted our system.

But they don't, because we have a Corporate Media. So I rarely watch them anymore.

Lewinsky is selling a book. Lots of people are interviewed by the Corporate Media when they have books to sell. That's what the Corporate Media does, it sells things and it sells propaganda that will make money for Corporations.

The media is supposed to report facts about important news to the public, but since deregulation of the media, that isn't going to happen. Clinton participated in deregulating the media. Had it not happened, we might be getting actual news instead of sensationalism.

But that is how it is now. Too bad we were busy trying to defend him from vicious right wing attacks re Lewinsky we might have been watching what was passing into legislation more closely.
