(10,494 posts)corporate propaganda machine here. We have GE, which is a defense contractor, among many other things, owns a network. They didn't buy it for the ad dollars, they bought it for leverage on the Hill.
It used to be the Soviet Union that tortured and spewed propaganda while we thought we wore the white hats. Now we attack other countries for their resources and so our MIC can get our tax dollars and "Propaganda" has become our middle name.
Here is yet another issue that can be rectified down the road if we all fight for Publicly Funded Elections and Complete Campaign Finance Reform. All 3 branches of government and our media are owned by the Plutocracy so that they always get their way at our expense. (Sorry for the overused phrase but here goes), We must fight to get our country back! We do not have Representative Democracy any longer because we do not write the big campaign checks (bribes)!
I hate to say this, but almost as many Democrats are bought off as Republicans. If something is not done very soon it will be too late!
