(29,907 posts)I have long had this certain gut prediction that human civilization is basically heading in this direction to best explain it, greedy sociopaths, while humanitarians & populists are stamped out & the end result isn't pretty & I basically see it as practically impossible to stop it since they can figure out some tricks & schemes to deal with shit that gets in their to achieve to popular support of their eventual oppression.
I don't really know enough about the others or don't follow their reporting much if at all. I don't trust Fox & MSNBC regarding personnel changes or like when they fired Phil Donahue MSNBC always slides into untrustworthy ways. It was pretty good for brief period with editorial shows at night & the CNN style reporting in the daytime. But one of the last few times watching MSNBC where one of the anchors basically said let's hear Kerry defend himself this or something. Basically kept slipping one way after the brief period they show judgment it letting talent go or hiring the talent for something such as Meet the Press. CNBC, not even wort6h mentioning how untrustworthy they are. CNN, eh. Like all 24/7 they sell the battle more than inform. So much history could be referenced to discredit Republicans. Truman thought trickle-down economics was discredited because of the great depression. He urged business to urge the vices of monopoly, they can explain very truthfully why it happens & while is bad for the overall economy given that it depresses spending or at-the-time, it was well known under consumption doomed the great depression after it occurred.
The roaring 20s followed by the Great Depression a number of recessions ah I give up.
However this just tells me it is even worse than I thought and bad estimate of where we are heading & what we are facing to stop it.
