You still have not given me a single example of what you claim.

You point at "American media" which is now wholly owned by a handful of billionaires. They fired almost all their foreign correspondents years ago. The "news" they report is crap.

Likewise, you point to politicians, more than half of whom are right wing cretins. The rest are... politicians, dependent on big money for reelection especially since the SCOTUS decision Citizens United.

Now I'm done with this conversation.
