4. The MSM is just a mouthpiece for the 1%. Division breeds profits - that is ALL they care about.

This has always been the case.

But today the damage done is magnified because of technology.

In the past, folks got a newspaper once or twice a day, a magazine weekly or monthly.

Plenty of time to process, winnow out the disinformation, and use reason.

But today they get the news updates every minute on their cell phones from websites and social media. No time at all for those who are not trained to think to process the real from the disinformation.

Thus we get Qanon.

And the 1% are as happy as pigs in slop.
