NBC(General Electric), as an example of the current "Mainstream Media", doesn't give a hoot about advertising profits; their stock has never been lower, yet they'd rather tell us the sky is falling, than to help their own plight by being optomistic, and reporting that 90% of all mortages are getting paid on time. Their agenda is to pave the way for a socialist society, at any cost; including national security, financial security, and their own profitability. After-all, that profitability-thing won't be an issue with our coming new world order.
Whew...glad I got that off my chest.
