Local broadcast journalism used to be some of the most honest news communities could look to. The corporate consolidation and control of mass media is evident today more than ever. Such major media are busy calling out and condemning “fake news”, which is in reality often citizen-generated news and information sharing.

This compilation is pretty old but still hits you hard… it’s easy to see the general public has no clue what’s happening and why. I remember my pal Dan saying to me “you mean to tell me you don’t believe in gun control of any kind?… what about Sandy Hook?” He put the ball on a tee for me to swing for the fences.
