Reply jim k, austin tx 10/27/14 The press now keeps Obama afloat. Reply Ronw13, Yachats Or 10/27/14 1 Reply E Archer, NYC 10/27/14 Without a war, people are generally disinterested in news. Without perpetual conflict, no one would call on government for 'help.' The media makes so much money in political advertising, especially when there is great division within the People. Remember that heavy hitting news organizations are referred to as 'opinion-makers' -- that is their REAL job. SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
