Americans have been exposed to. Something needs to be done legislatively about our media if we can ever get enough of a majority to pass it.

Same with the money in our politics. We have a corporate shadow government that has controlled all of one Party and some of the other with donations, Super PACs, Dark Money, and the Revolving Door.

Fox corporate advertisers want to deflect the blame for the wealth gap, their taking our tax dollars and not paying taxes, on immigrants, minorities, disabled and liberals. Fox also knows that angry and afraid viewers watch much more than if they just gave the real news. Lastly, they need control over their viewers to get them to keep voting for Republicans against their own interests.

If we had a truth requirement in news and eliminated campaign finance in exchange for publicly funded elections we would gain back control over our government. Sadly we too are distracted fighting the symptoms of this system, climate change, Black Lives Matter, guns, immigration… instead of attacking these two root causes that prevent us from ever being successful in these fights. I believe it will take the Left to exclusively focus on these two root causes in order to be successful on all the other issues that plague our country. The media will not talk about this because they are the recipients of all of the campaign money and corporate ad dollars. It will have to be a well organized, well funded, grass roots movement to accomplish. I just don’t see this happening.

Toxic Denture cream. Dementia doesn’t warp a brain this bad. When he would do sports football punditry recently, I could not stand to listen to the snapping and spittle from his dentures. What a sick fuck if he believes a word of that shit. Wait, even worse if he knows it all bullshit.

Holtz’s statements are those of someone who maybe suffering from dementia, or he’s just a fucking moron like the hard-core base who continue to vote for TFFG and have no clue what an out-of-control con man, liar and a cheat evil menace he is, who’s as dumb as a fucking post and wants to be just like his BFF Vlad over here.

It goes beyond ignorance. It’s some kind of clinical condition. The polite yakkers in the media claim that Lib “elite” need to be NICE and TRY TO UNDERSTAND these zombies, and criticized Hillary for calling them Deplorables, and BIDEN for saying Neanderthals, or others calling it a CULT.
