I do not doubt your posting for a second, especially your main point that the USA national news media is controlled.
I just went to Yahoo homepage and its lead story is now ... a very pro-Obama slant about...guess what, Ukraine of all things...and basically (my wording) how wonderfully Obama is “right on top of it”
or something like that.
Anyway, it was better when they were blacking out the news.... but that was just temporary while the composed some distorted “news” as propaganda to try to bolster Soros’ little puppet (you know, that one who can read his script from a Teleprompter)
Er,he is right on top of something else. Someone left a barstool upside down.
I don't know if it was thousands of people engaged in the activity or if it was automated "bots", but it was clearly being done for political purposes.
