The New York Times and Washington Post are gussied up DNC press releases. And the rest of the press takes their lead from theses two.

There’s no reasons to read American newspapers...

The New York Times runs an editorial on "The NRA's Complicity in Terrorism,"...

but the Orlando mass murderer Omar Mateen isn't a member of the NRA. He is a member of the Democratic Party, who voted for Obama twice, and worked as a subcontract security man for Homeland Security under Obama appointee Jeh Johnson.

It doesn't get much more obvious than the above... but yeah, they should come out of the closet and admit they rewrite DNC talking points...

Actually, I believe That is a Mark Twain quote.

Haven’t gotten a paper in 20 years. It was nothing but stuff I have to throw away.

our local paper seems to carry the water for the local weed industry, making the "business" just peachy and clean and wonderful..

yesterday they decided to run an article on witches and their little sewing circle....again, just peachy and clean and wonderful....

newspapers have days if not weeks old news. I have even noticed FNC running stories that appeared on Drudge or here days after the fact (sometimes weeks)

The print media even dos a bad or insignificant job with local news.

newspapers are the echo chamber of the irrelevant.

Newspapers in the digital age are the dinosaurs. For those of us that grew up and enjoyed the daily leisure of reading one or more newspapers that is gone, at least in this country.

Some places like London still have at least 6 to 8 daily papers and I would certainly enjoy having those diverse news and opinions to peruse everyday.

The fact is that society and news are moving so fast it is almost impossible to assimilate, understand, and stay on top of the issues and opinions being put forth. Information overload.

Besides being propaganda and camouflage, newspapers contain only stuff I was reading online yesterday. I used to read the local rag but it’s gone, submerged online, where the “police blotter” has become denatured by the elimination of all concrete information. “A shoplifter was detained at a retail store on Oak street.”

Meanwhile The Wall Street Journal helpfully offers what it calls “a primer” headlined “Assault Weapons Explained.” ...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Our dumb ass president explained that the Glock the shooter was carrying, “held several clips”.

Walter,

That’s twice more in one day that you are trying to advance this conspiracy video.

FWIW, I have looked into the “Electric Universe” theory and while there are some interesting concepts, I have found the entire effort spends more time trying to tell everybody about some conspiracy rather than advancing the “Science”.

I know your video link is not about the work you have done regarding the “Electric Universe”, but it does seem to fall in line with the whole “Conspiracy” thing that you are trying to promote here.

Please explain what you are trying to accomplish.
