The same media that lied us into war, is happy to spread lies to support a pro-war candidate.

For those of you who remember the creepy run-up to the War in Iraq, when the media basically became Pravda-like in their advocacy of anyone and anything that was pro-war, and in their condemnation of anyone or anything that opposed the war, you know how absolutist - and yes, totalitarian - the mainstream media can be.

Is the mainstream media not still backed by pro-war corporations? Then wouldn't it make sense for them to do whatever it takes to stop an anti-war candidacy? How can they have their next war, if they don't elect a pro-war candidate???

Things are a little different now with the internet, but the mainstream media still holds sway in popular opinion as the arbiter of what is true or not. Even though there are millions of voices of dissent being heard, many voices challenging the "official" story, most people still rely on the mainstream media outlets to learn "the truth". My advice: think for yourselves. Use your common sense.
