Just watching excerpts from "This Week" on ABC and suddenly a light bulb goes on, there is nothing remotely resembling "news" on this show! This is only a pundit fest full of propaganda and talking points o behalf of the power elite. Thanks to corporate media for packaging it for so well that I naively thought there might be some nugget of learning to be gained, however small. I now realize only sellouts would appear on this show.

All this witch hunt of Snowden who exposed the Anti-American traitors in the NSA who have taken our privacy and our civil rights--the same folks Occupiers were squawking about over a year ago. Did anybody hear us when we yelled about hundreds of millions--billions being spent to "secure the homeland" and take our privacy and liberties? I recall when Occupy Reno tried to pull off a "real news" type report but it was quickly co-opted by a few with their own agendas.

A year from now will someone "expose" Monsanto's lucrative connection to Congress and will we watch him or her pursued as a traitor against state secrets and our corpocracy? I wonder what Thomas Paine would think of our so-called American news today, now that we have surrendered our independence to the 1%. We are not supposed to even ask what is in our food or what chemicals are being pumped into our water supply--that's against "free enterprise and is by definition unAmerican! Even most of those who believe they think independently are being spoon fed from a partisan camp. Not a bang, not even a whimper?
