Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
"... People have had it with the media spin.
Hardly.
The sheeple eat it up and hardly known any different.... then, they vote.
America is now governed by the "lowest denominator" of our society and the scumbag politicos who pander to their vote.
Smart/power-hungry/immoral/scumbag/greedy politicos figured it out....
To gain/retain power... feed the sheeple misconceptions/half-truths/lies... then give them a little bit of money (extracted by force from other citizens, of course) to secure their vote.
And THAT'S where America is today!
