Subtle Propagandists Endorse Product of their Choice
And the winner is ! (drum roll please)......The propagandists! People will continue to be deceived. They will vote for the candidate whom the propagandists so subtly endorse, and sometimes not so subtly. How much experience does someone have to have in order to have the better idea or solution? Why can't we look at our problems and study the value of each Party's solutions, rather than talking about POW experience or the radical preacher?

The media and propagandists have their own agenda and it is not the agenda of average Americans. It is a part of corporate America and "free trade" and "less regulation" and "lower taxes", etc. They have an unspoken bias for the Party that promotes those ideas that are in their own interests. All political discussions are begun with the assumption that those "special interest" ideas are the norm and anyone that disagrees with those corporate ideas is looked upon with a skeptical eye. And though that is not lost on some, the deception is wholesale.

Unfortunately, the average working American is not benefitted necessarily by "free trade", or "less regulation", or "lower taxes" on corporations. Somebody has to take up the slack in revenue or simply add it to the credit card. Either way, there is a price to pay.

However, the propagandists (even "liberal media" is a propagandist term) will continue to deceive the people into voting for people and issues that are not in their own interest. Much of that is done with their subtle approach in reporting on the issues with their underlying corporate interests bias. Most folks are too involved with trying to survive to even notice. So, with their sly smiles, they continue to feed it to a gullible public with a spoon - like soft baby food from a jar.
