WHO WILL SELECT THE NEXT PRESIDENT, THE PEOPLE OR THE PRESS? When the press becomes a public opinion manager for wealthy benefactions the will of those benefactors becomes the will of the public. Unless the public chooses a different path. Elections are a matter of human discretion, opinion. Control the opinions and you control the elections. Or you can speak truth to power. It's dangerous, but it does work. We are Reader Supported News. You are our benefactors. We speak truth to power. We need your help. In solidarity. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News
