Since the new CEO was installed at CNN, there's been a definite change for the worse. It's become more "infotainment" than actual journalism. And today I watched a piece about the Republican attack on "Obamacare" which consisted of 10 seconds of video of Nancy Pelosi making a statement, and then 10 MINUTES of not one, but two REPUBLICANS giving rebuttal! Where was the other side???? Where was even an unbiased opinion? I'm seeing this happening more and more on CNN -- this is not unbiased reporting, it's PROPAGANDA. It's yet another example of mainstream media being made a shill for corporate interests. Read Gar Alperovitz's book "What Then Must We Do?". It's an eye-opener on the true state of the country....and it isn't good. It's made me realize that the Citizens United "coup" by the Supreme Court turned our democracy on it's head. Every member of the Supreme Court that voted for this decision should have been impeached immediately. Our government and our lives are now controlled by corporations. Until Citizens United is overturned, there is little hope for any different path than what we see now, with the 1% holding all the wealth and power and the rest of us becoming merely indentured servants set to fighting amongst ourselves over scraps as we watch our biosphere being destroyed.
