Zerbie-
The media....visual, aural and print.....now definitely owned and operated by multinational conglomerates who feed each other and protect their $$$$$ interests worldwide at the expense of the people, and the political smokescreens that they own and operate like a subsidiary company.
The hope, of course, is that the masses will someday awaken and realise that they are controlled and manipulated by a handful of men and fewer women.
I agree with TJ, we must pray and have faith.....but good works is not an epistle of straw for me personally......

. Civil disobedience and telling truth to power - even when that power can incarcerate or eviscerate - is true courage....and my definition of nonviolence.
