Propaganda Machine...

Completely agree, JB,  and would only change one word in your last sentence, from "still" to "plenty of..." 'justification for Congress to investigate...'

Each of us depends on what we can glean from info sources while our lives stream by and it is critically important that we have the most reliable information possible in order to act intelligently as informed citizens.

We've all got to jump on this with both feet and demand a full, energetic Congressional Investigation into the "media-gov't-industry collusion".
