10. I hear you, but

MSM spins the national narrative on most topics. It is the most powerful and corrupt institution in America. The primary beneficiary of Citizens United is the MSM. It will always carry water for money. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are media favorites because they represent the most money. You can watch just enough MSM to determine what narrative it is peddling and still retain your sanity. It's only when you assume it will impart something like objective truth that you get into trouble watching it.
