How The Public Get Suckered By "News" Media Ignoring Reality
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2015 19:50 -0500The aristocracy’s control over all the mainstream ‘news’ is ironclad - and this includes the political magazines as well as ‘intellectual’ magazines.

Suckers don’t just swallow it; they come back for more of that propaganda. A press like this makes it impossible for there to be intelligent, informed, rather than misinformed and/or stupid, voting in national political elections in the United States.
