The media continue to allow the right

[rainy]

to frame the issues so that public opinion starts to mimic their stance. It is happening now with the Iran deal. It's happening with every republican being on the news and no coverage of Sanders great speaches on issues. The people say democrats have a hard time getting their message out but Bernie is everywhere and you never hear him talk..

1. The media is ran by the right. The megawealthy own all

Mainstream media.They own the advertisers that pay the media. They have it under their complete control. The media is nothing but a propaganda machine for the megawealth and its only goal is to shape public opinion to keep the masses confused and asleep.

2. Not just the media. It is also the think tanks and other research organizations

that supply the media with "news" are also owned by the 1%.

One example among many is the Cato Institute, a source heavily used by the corporate media. The Cato Institute actually started out as the Koch Institute.

The libertarian Cato Institute, a think tank started in 1974 by the money of Charles Koch, is parting with its president and CEO of just two and a half years. John Allison, the former BB&T banker who took over Cato in a much-watched power struggle between donors and scholars, will retire, the think tank said Monday; Peter Goettler, a former managing director at Barclays Capital, will replace him.
