From what my parents told me it was the same during FDR’s time and since. The MSM kept FDR’s paralysis a secret for years, his and Eleanor’s extramarital love interests and the fact that the Jap Purple Code was broken. FDR knew what would happen at Pearl, Aleutions and Manila but he had promised Joe Stalin and Churchill to get America into the war. The MSM jobs are open only to leftist propaganda whores.
I believe your're right about that. It seems the only way to get around the DNC control is through the Internet. New conservative new outlets should be formed on the Internet(and are at this time) to challenge the Drive_Bys. But it's not enough. Their stranglehold on telvision is what they hold most dear. If this be can changed, then I think America will start to change.
