Elected representatives in Washington are intended to be the mouthpieces of the people who elect them. Though they are constitutionally obligated to the will of the people, most Americans feel unrepresented by either political party today. That’s because politicians are no longer beholden to the people who elect them. They are instead, beholden only to those who control their power (their money), namely the two major political parties, their respective political platforms and their agendas of division.

The press is supposed to be the eyes and ears of the people, keeping a close watch on our elected officials and reporting unfettered facts so that the people (our real government) can keep those elected mouthpieces doing the peoples work in the interest of those people. Instead, we have a press operating with its own agenda and the people’s eyes and ears on Washington are failing us miserably as a result.

We hope the press will help keep politicians honest, at least as honest as any politician is capable of being. Help us rid ourselves of the dishonest politicians from time to time in order to assure the interest of the people. But it turns out that the one group we can trust less than politicians is the so-called mainstream press. Both make trial lawyers seem like decent folks. So who keeps the press honest?

Many Americans sense that their system of self-governance is failing them. But few realize how they have contributed to that failure,

The US Press is basically a liberal propaganda organ, which is in severe need of radical, surgical intervention.

Boycott them.

I have stopped watching the lamestream press, buying or even reading their newspapers. I am so much happier without their constant negativity.

so I say screw the MSM they have nothing to offer and no longer serve their constitutionally pretected role. As the columninst states that they serve their own agenda and are essentially satelites of Socialist International.
