A couple of days ago Rep. Gabbard was given a voice on The Hill to discuss how the intelligence agencies are out of control.

Tulsi Gabbard: Presidential candidates must also condemn election interference by US intelligence agencies | TheHill

The Washington Post sets it off by claiming anonymous intelligence officials say Russia is helping Sanders, which was followed by Bloomberg repeating the accusation on stage in South Carolina. A corporate media outlet asserts something with no proof, that politicians then toss around, which provides more fuel to a fire corporate media started. Do corporate media outlets even need to actually talk to intelligence officials anymore?

But do you really, really believe all this is happening by accident? Do you really believe Tulsi or any politician when they say this situation needs to end? Even though it's been going on over a decade, each year getting more ridiculous.

It appears media talking heads, celebrities, and politicians, have a separate/secret paycheck from intelligence agencies to keep a charade in place. I myself cannot account otherwise for how the American people are lead around by the nose like this, as if there is no answer, no remedy.

Read Tulsi and see how this is a play out of a play-book: tell us what is truly happening (corporate media/intelligence agencies not accountable in any way), then spin it to the final thought--our side of the aisle can do better.
 

It's called the multimedia echo chamber. Whomever is designated to be a target will be the one they direct their unsupported nonsense at. In your example, it's Sanders. The DNC Elites don't want him so they'll push this drivel to influence people against him.

Seriously...do I really have to spell this out to you? After all, we've seen this going on for five years, at least.

On the other hand, some of us aren't trapped in this charade. Some of us aren't useful idiots who are influenced by this nonsense.
 
FFS!...

:inandout:
 


I'm fifty-five years old, and I thought of someone who is twenty-five years old today, and posted this in case they wanted to escape the charade too.
 

So when the NYT reports it about trump, we should have delayed impeachment, but when the criticism is against a democrat, it is fake news huh?

No, this post has nothing to do with partisanship. It's about our collective situation under corporate media, and at least recognizing where we're at.

I am fully aware of where we are at. They take whatever anybody will tell them and run with it because the media generally doesn't have many real field reporters, let alone investigative ones. The one good thing about the Convington kid fiasco is that the networks, et al seem to have learned you can't just pay interns to scour twitter for news (outrage items) worthy of reporting (spreading).
