Is the News Bought and Paid For?

    I’m sure most these reporters and anchormen/anchorpeople(?) have encountered frustration when they run up against the interests of their corporate sponsors. Of course a growing number of reporters (a.k.a. the lapdog media) wouldn’t even think of biting the hand that feeds them. But what’s even worse is the “fake news” (sponsored by uncle sam) and the white house press corps. These are the type folks who don’t have any backbone whatsoever.

    I may be wrong about “fake news” which I could research when I get a minute this afternoon. Possibly closer to a TV commercial (corporate in nature disguised as the news)

    Here’s one hideous example of “fake news” which should raise alarm bells with patriotic Americans. It was a “press conference”. Only problem is the “press” were actually FEMA staffers. Of course the sheeple will probably say “Aw so what. I don’t see no stinkin’ A-RABS so whats all the fuss about”?

    The title of this post raises a question:
    “Is the News Bought and Paid For?”

    My response is also in question form:

    “Does a bear defecate in the woods?”
