living through that time and watching the media and what they were not doing then to now is amazing.
This "media" more than sucks, they put a narcissistic hypocrite in charge of a party and never challenged, him, and they keep beating around the bush and not holding the fire to the feet of the congressional leadership backing this racist bigot.

And now that the consolidation of the newspapers, tv broadcasting, and the public basically losing over site of there frequency rights of the broad band, and other frequencies being put up for sale to be used to pay debt is just amazing, and the Powell memo hits it right on the head on your comment. If people would look at what he said and why he said it, this country would be up in arms, it was a sell off of the country to the elite and to attack unions, everything of the commons etc.....

I know this is off the subject line, but my mother liked Will Rodgers and I like Will Rodgers, and this is what he said in his quotes and his reference to politics ........
