In the past journalists did real investigative reporting. Now that’s almost a lost art with journalists becoming paid toadies. It’s the internet and the proletariat that is ever watching via the internet that has the ability to investigate and disseminate to expose.
I appreciate what you’re saying but the powers that be are very devious and they have allies in the media who do their bidding. We can watch and we can expose, but they are good a defusing things. People like this can take a clear case grand larceny and make it look look like petty shoplifting.
The point is, they are very, very good at damage control.
They manipulate perceptions and adroitly manage the public’s perception of things all with the help of a compliant media. In fact, they enjoy playing their little games.
