I remember when news reporters were working stiffs making an average wage with a fairly high ethical standards for reporting objective truth. The current crop of pundits practice class war under the guise of “reporting”. Never trust a rich person or a rich person’s mouth piece.

There is a war going on and you, my dear reader, are losing. It is a war of attrition, a war of grinding you into poverty until you are so weak you die. Whether you are aware of it or not, that is what is happening. These ‘news reporters’ are the front line troops, the propagandists, for this war.
