If your reality is given to you via the media, it probably isn't reality!
In 1834 Andrew Jackson shut down the second attempted looting of the USA via a central bank.
In those days, the newspapers were the media. Since most newspapers either accepted bribes or low interest loans from the banksters, they reported lies in an attempt to discredit Jackson.
Eventually, Jackson did save our Country by convincing congress to not renew that banking scam and for eighty years America prospered. Until the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913.
There is truth to be found if you look for it.
If you drink the cool aid and repeat what you have heard, you are a lemming.
No offense to lemmings.
