The American leftist media establishment is, without a doubt, extraordinarily powerful. It can shape reality in ways that are always deleterious for America and for ordinary Americans.

People trust used car salesmen MORE than they trust press toadies.
They are proud to be lying hacks.
It was once respected, now they are seen as a bunch of clowns at best, murderers with thousands of people’s blood on their hands at worst.
He's just so damn creepy.
Media folks = The Onion
CNN misspelled BLOWS
More corrupt than the mafia.
This attitude of superiority of purpose and moral authority is what justifies in their own minds the means by which they get there.
The local TV weather guessers are more accurate than the MSM.
