29. Frankly,

and the media won't promote them...why? because the folks who own the media are the same

folks who own the political classes and sponsor 99% of the legislation & determine the political agenda.

...this isn't new and it's something everyone should know by now.

The problem is that even among those who know it, there are people still relying on the media to get the message out.
