Hi,
You must remember who owns the media companies now. Huge corporations that have no interest in spreading the truth. Their only concern is making a profit. These companies are now part of larger investment groups, take the time & look it up with ties to the republicans.

In the past 5 years these companies have let go, excuse me; fired more than half of their staffs in cost cutting measures to increase profits. I was one of the many that lost a job & career. These companies have interest in truth or fairness only profit.

The only media outlet that seems to tell the truth is Al Gore's Current tv.
