of our media outlets. Since the leaders of these corporations have fiduciary responsibility only for shareholder earnings, it is no surprise that they will twist news, often very cleverly to a) create controversy, even if there is none, because it is good for ratings (profits) and b) C-suite people and billionaires and the rest of the top 1/2% have a very real vested interest in keeping the current level of political corruption just as it is, because they are in the process of transferring massive amounts of public wealth from our treasury to that same 1/2%.

There is all kinds of trolling, and the media is guilty on an ongoing basis of underreporting things that have actual import in favor of things that generate higher ratings, and thus keep advertising profits up.

It's always about money, particularly when we're talking shareholder profits.
