13. And who is making the most money now?

Since the mass media is owned and controlled by only a small number, makes a person wonder why
these right wing and left wing news outlets are fighting among themselves. It really confused me when I first learned that Louise Mensch is paid by Murdock, the owner of Fox news. Is Murdock stirring the pot, to attract more viewers?

Also, Murdock and Dump are chummy friends, so where is the loyalty to Dump? Murdock is paying someone to slander and libel Dump (and I say slander and libel because she does not give reference for her sources).

So, I look at the money...how many billions of dollars were spent on the last election cycle, which a majority of funds went for media marketing. Who got the money? And now that Rublicans and Dems are fighting fiercely, what will occur in 2018?

More money than ever raised...just to get that idiot out of the office.
