Media Revolt


Is the pervasive activity of the Internet always fact-checking the main-stream media starting to change the behavior of the newspaper, TV and radio pundits?

The surge of both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump seems to be unmitigated by the din of false propaganda and sycophancy supporting the establishment candidates.

The main-stream "journalists" just might be seeing the writing on the wall, but they are conflicted by the necessary evil of appealing to political candidates who have the most campaign money to spend on advertising.

After all, Hillary has a lot more money than Bernie Sanders, so of course media outlets are drooling at Hillary's feet. With a wink and a nod they shamelessly report she is winning all the debates, even debates in which she never participated.
