47. The right wing media is why we have so much hate in our country right now

Thu Dec 25, 2014, 06:42 AM

Dec 2014

Electing a black man to the highest office was too much for them and they pulled out all stops. Its the media that causes the hate and discontent we all see all over the country today. Have you noticed that since the election there is no more ISIS and Ebola in the news 24/7, neither went away. What changed is the republiCONs took the senate and increased their lead in the house but other than that nothing changed. The media did their job and got the results they were looking for and thats the end of that story.
I've been saying since day one here at DU that we need to get the media out of the hands of the large corporations if we are to get any kind of relief from pukie policies being crammed down our throats. So far those calls from me haven't been met with much support here.
Its not rocket science what the problem in America is. Its not blacks, its not hispanics, its not whites, its not the poor, its the news media.

ETA: Merry Christmas
