Corporate media's 1984 word play of the day, a few minutes ago on John King CNN

referring to billionaire "oligarchs" that use their vast wealth to bribe or influence high government officials as in Justice Thomas and his wife "activists."

They're oligarchs plain and simple.

Of course corporate media conglomerate CNN would prefer to subliminally trash the progressive movement, so why not lump progressive activists campaigning and protesting for a more enlightened society in the same word mix as an oligarch?
