Government controlled news

That political elites can become so stupid right in front of the folks they represent shows the tremendous job of obfuscation that is conducted every second, of every day, by our major media news sources. The sheer story telling ability of news outlets like FOX news shows just how gullible the average American citizen has become. It is not so much just the garbage news we are fed by these corporate information behemoth's, but the important information that is either totally left out of their broadcasts, or changed so much that it appears to be its opposite. Without the truth, without the real information, the Real News, we are lost and will not be able to negotiate our way safely towards our goal of democracy for everyone.
