Corporations are in control of the US media. Unfortunately, this includes NPR and PBS. Sound bites and half-truths fill the airwaves and pollute susceptible minds. Unless you are aware of how ALL media functions as propaganda, you are not equipped to make rational decisions about anything outside your tiny sphere of experience. Seek out the truth. Cross-reference. Question. Free yourself from the chains of mindless distractions. But be warned, the truth is often horrifying.
