who do you trust?

I watched 'film' of Walter Cronkite announcing the death of JFK (not 'live' - I was still in school when it happened!). Cronkite was 'GOD' to America at the time - he could have owned the world if he (or his 'MSM' bosses) would have wanted to.

But, HE HAD INTEGRITY!!!!!!!

Nobody ever even considered 'doctoring' the FACTS - leaning them in some sort of ideological way that would make the sponsors or corporate owners happy - they were NEWS MEN (and yes, they were 'men').

As you say - we'll see tomorrow what "we" need to be told about what "we" should know is happening - and what "we" will hear depends on what "they" want us to hear.

And what "they" want us to hear is ONLY what MSM opts to tell us - depending on who's sending the 'sweetest' check.

If you 'missed the point' of that - just ask Mitch McConnell why he chooses to lead and vote the way he does - THAT will tell you EVERYTHING!!!!!!

BOTTOM LINE - FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!!!!!!
