watches their profits soar.

Much of MSM sounds like babbling fools. And IMO MSNBC is falling by the wayside into the Fox/CNN crowd as Comcast appears to be directing MSNBC more and more. They're all spokesmen for Corporate America, USA, Inc. Americans well might be the most propagandized people on earth ... and under free choice to be propagandized.

Many are so mesmerized by MSM propaganda they don't have any F'en idea what's going on. I've been places where people will say, "Fox said," ... like Fox is some god from the mount on high that spews edicts of irrefutable truths.
