69. Very True as the American Corporate Media.....

Mon Sep 22, 2014, 11:30 PM

Sep 2014

Is owned by six Corporations, soon to be four. With that, these corporations control the soundbites coming out of the highly paid spokespersons' mouths like Rachel.

Notice how Rachel never says a little-bo-peep about General Electric/Comcast or how these two Corporations paid nearly next to nothing in business taxes. Rachel knows full well who places the butter on her bread and it ain't her common-folks worshippers who hang on her every word.

So unless you are reading and receiving your news in America on a site that is not owned by an American Corporation (Time -Warner, GE/Comcast and Faux News are all evil corporations) you are being feed paraganada of the highest order.
