How can democracy in America survive when the mainstream corporate media goes out of its way to not report crucial facts on many of what should be among the most urgent concerns of the electorate?
Media Matters for America reports that their analysis found “thhat from May 9 through May 16 top local newspapers and TV outlets in the largest media markets to reach the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin did not bring” the Washington Post’s story of Trump’s quid pro quoa with the oil executives “to local audiences — with one exception.”
It is anybody’s guess why the corporate media is plumping so hard for Trump, except then, again, it isn’t–the corporate chieftains don’t want to pay taxes. The only thing these execs–same for Wall Street–seem to be concerned with is short-term financial gain. And yet they ignore the fact that Trump is threatening to seize the endowments of private educational institutions, and Michael Cohen ha warned that Trump has ever intention of shaking down individuals or corporations whose wealth he covets.
Where the corpoate media is concerned, the additional irony is that Trump, like his beloved Hitler did, will undoubtedly within his first year of a second term move to shut down any independence the corpoate media has tried to maintain.
