The fact is that the corporate media in this country are our enemies.
Media consolidation has left us with a handful of newspapers and
television networks which are all controlled by international
conglomerates. They hoped they would make neo-liberal heroine Hillary
Clinton the next president but Democratic Party failures and her own
weaknesses put Trump in the White House.
The news has been fake long before Donald Trump used those words. The
cozy relationship between Bush and the press gave him cover to invade
Iraq and kill 1 million people. The correspondents’ dinners and the
private briefings create media haves and have nots, and taint the
journalism that comes from this collusion. Obama made the private briefing a standard operating practice and kept Democratic pundits in his thrall, not that he had to work hard to win them over.
