10. They are victims of their own making

They could have stood up to Putin's agent, pedo Trump. But instead they wrote articles as if Trump were a normal politician. They treated him with kid gloves. They denigrated liberals and Dems sometimes subtly sometimes blatantly. But they never pointed out the truth. It would have cost them money.

And now they are going to lose even more money as the free press disappears. Who needs corporate media when the government decides what is allowed to be in the press? Just start a government branch for the propaganda. That's all that's really needed.

But not to worry. The next step in the destruction of the US is the Russians moving in. Putin's going to send his pals in to gather up our nation's wealth and property. No social security, no federal retirement, no Medicare, of course Medicade is gone. Anything you get from the government is going to disappear.

Except for the lies.....you always get the lies.
