10. Horserace politics is corp media's biggest moneymaker, no doubt

And they're all about PROFIT. Not reporting actual news. Or public service. Or reporting news the public needs to know (unless it's partial information, leaves 1/2 to 2/3 of the story out and twists that beyond recognition of anything even sensical much less true or fact-based). They're PROFIT-MONGERS. Pure and simple. They'll don't give a SHIT about Democracy. Or fair elections. Or public health. They are NEVER EVER above blatant lying and fearmongering. Whatever makes 'em a buck from idiot viewers and advertisers. They're propaganda sluts. They pimp whatever the Koch Bros (whom they've made MILLIONS OFF OF THIS YEAR AND PREVIOUS YEARS) tells them to.

Don't expect anything from them. Except profitmaking (for them and their corp and wealthy GOP-loving pimps) by twerking their GOP-driven and money-driven propaganda all in our faces every day.

I HATE the mainstream media.

PeeEss: They'll destroy ANYTHING for money. Including your country. Your health. And your LIFE. They and the likes of them are what run and OWN this country now. Until that changes, expect nothing else.
