A tribute to the Corporate Media during this primary season.

What a role you play in our "democracy." The use of green stripes and green water is definitely apropos. It's the alter at which "we" worship.

Seriously, it is playing an enormous part in determining who gets elected on both sides. As I've mentioned in a couple of other threads, I'd like to see a documentary done on how the media helped shape the 2016 election. I think it would be very revealing if it was handled by the right person.

They have been very successful at defining it that way over the last few decades. As far as main stream, there is no such thing.

Many don't know what journalism is at this point as the lines have been beyond blurred by propaganda itself. A major right wing hack is often referred to as a journalist right here on DU. They operate off of one hundred percent deception and are an outlet for propaganda.

Because that would be one hell of an argument to try to make.

Call the media whatever you want. Labels are meaningless.

HRC in the race allowed Comcast to kill off MSNBC which was drowning anyway
CNN was already dead to anyone under 40
Fox is ...well.......fox. It's audience literally is dying off.
Out of the ashes will emerge a new , strong network of truth. Nature hates a vacuum ...
Hopefully it will include Keith, Cenk, Thom, Sam, Amy etc
