.....how and why did the "progressive" side come to prevail.....

Interesting question.

If you ask any Arab, they will tell you the American press is controlled by the Jewish establishment. The Jewish establishmnet is predominently liberal, therefore the press is predominently liberal. Tme money controls the agenda.

[ForGod'sSake]

The Jewish establishmnet is predominently liberal, therefore the press is predominently liberal.

Now that's liable to draw some fire. But, it possible enough, at least on its face. Also, my gut tells me there's something else, that a liberal Jewish influence may not the complete or only answer.

Tme money controls the agenda.

The "bottom line" in all things, eh? The love of money(power) is the root of all evil? Simple as that? I have a problem getting my simple mind around this whole thing, so I'll hafta work on connecting the dots.

But I'll tell you something bert, whatever the reason(s) for the media's depths of depravity, it's not isolated to this country. It's a worldwide phenomenon; the 800 pound gorilla; the elephant in the living room. Where do we start?
