The Show

As of right now, there is a bipartisan budget deal that kicks the can down the road for another 3 months. Washington DC insiders win, the rest of us lose... good game.

So what was all the hooplah about if democrats basically got everything they wanted again? What exactly did they concede during negotiations (or the lack thereof)? Can anyone please point that out for me because I don't see any concessions worth a lick.

They should have just kept the federal government shutdown along with Congress and the Executive Branch because neither of them did anything fruitful this entire time. Might as well shutdown mainstream media too as they just turned it into a spectacle while parroting the false narrative for the Obama administration that the federal government would default on its debt.

Mainstream media is in bed with the federal government lock stock and barrel. This past Sunday, mainstream media ignored the vet rally in DC, where thousands of vets tore down the barricades that were blocking off war memorials and monuments and piled them in front of the White House.

The "Million Vet March' was the top trending story in social media, yet it was wholeheartedly ignored by the mainstream media. In an age where Miley Cyrus twerking makes headlines, why does such a powerful message and rally from thousands of veterans in our nations capital go unreported? Please someone explain that to me?

The only answer that I can come to is that we no longer have a free press that informs us, but one that is used to manipulate, push agendas, and distract. We not only need an alternative to these two political parties, we also need an alternative to mainstream media to step up.
