Seems fair,,,





Bloomberg News Announces It Will Not Investigate Mike Bloomberg, Or Any Of His Democratic Rivals


and

On the other hand, while Bloomberg News will no longer cover any of the potential Democratic presidents, period, its "P&I team will continue to investigate the Trump administration, as the government of the day", albeit with the running disclaimer that its boss sees himself as Trump's biggest challenger

Who says the press is impartial?

The key is transparency. Russia Today is slick propaganda masquerading as news, but for the most part the viewership knows what "RT" means as an acronym. Same for Fox which reflects the editorial standards of its owner. If Bloomberg News is letting folks know where they stand, that's fine. And as long as any of them are reporting objective facts, then the source doesn't matter. What I don't like is the covert disinformation, the ginning up of pure BS overseas and feeding it to low information viewers here through facades.

Transparency comes as a shock to some people.

How is it any different than weaponizing a tabloid like the Enquirer?

Every viewer here is a low information viewer according to togor except for the 3 annointied ones. The Rosenbergs were executed because they were spies. If we were to start executing spies again, there would be a bunch of very well known folks on the list... DJT would head the list with every other patriotic supporter of America, freedom, and the Constitution.

So Red you see yourself as a Russian dupe? "Here" means USA to me. What does it mean to you?

Surprisingly, I think you nailed exactly what I thought. Wait, they are all so holy, what would there be to investigate?

This is called Clintonian Antinomianism -- He's so moral that everything he does is highly moral because if it weren't, a highly moral person like him wouldn't be doing it.

I thought Trump had the "best morals". No?

The control of the message to the masses is as old as time itself. Those who are in power don't want the serfs to thing for themselves.

If they were allowed to think for themselves, they might think "How come all these rich people in Congress don't pay THEIR fair share?"

[togor]

If they were allowed to think for themselves, they might think "How come all these rich people in Congress don't pay THEIR fair share?"

Or they might think things like "how come my health care is so damn expensive?" or "why is it that Trump has so many nice things to say about some pretty awful dictators?" or "how come we can't do something about all of these #$%@! guns?"

As a rule, people thinking for themselves is exactly what the reactionaries seek to prevent.
