    They’re not serving a market … they’re serving a master.

    The general media is not an independent entity that does things to make a bit of money … they are a tool that is used by corporations and the wealthy elite to corral people into a certain mindset and beliefs … that eventually lead everyone into electing only those people that are marketed to them.

    “It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls.” - George Carlin
