We have always known that all broadcast and cable news media is tightly controlled. Hundreds of stations across America literally parrot word for word what each other says.

Now we also know that all social media can also be controlled. There is nowhere safe except small communities that are not controlled by corporations or the government.

They want us disorganized, poor, uneducated, and religious. This is their plan to reduce us to their serfs to be controlled and abused.

This morning, I hear reports from neighbors that our "local" newspaper website has experienced some sort of breakdown, and it's showing the "local" paper from somewhere in Virginia, or Tennessee. They're all owned by the same company. The media outlets aren't parroting each other when they are literally the same entity behind the scenes.
