The media affirmatively assisted Bushco.

We no longer have journalists on TV. We have propagandists.

Republican propagandists, Democratic propagandists, establishment propagandists, Wall Street propagandists, 1% propagandists, etc.

Some lie more than others. Some are less intelligent than others. Some do their job better than others. Some are less obvious than others.

But, be wary of all of them.
