Instead of\u00a0looking in the mirror and admitting how its countless errors and propaganda pushing led to multiple humanitarian disasters over\u00a0the last couple of decades, the oligarch-owned mainstream media insist upon a narrative that Trump the individual\u00a0is at the root of our problems, as opposed to an entrenched executive branch with excessive power. This is because the mainstream media isn\u2019t actually concerned about our cancerous, systemic metastasizing statism, it merely doesn\u2019t want Trump in charge of it. I, on the other hand, want to dismantle that unconstitutional state entirely and transfer power to the American people where it belongs \u2014 self-government.\u00a0<strong>Does anyone actually think for a second the media would be this adversarial if Hillary won?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This weekend\u2019s article by Nicholas Kristof in\u00a0<em>The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0represents a sort of coming out party for the billionaire-owned, corporate media.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Billionaire-Owned, Corporate Media is as Worthless as Ever I think the U.S. citizenry is being afflicted by a sort of mass insanity at the moment.
