The entire Page was Bought and paid for By Clinton. I'm sorry but that renders the Newspaper as accepting payment for political coverage. Its not even close to hard news... And we both know that the Clinton are notorious for press manipulation.
Yeah, but every president and his government has participated in press manipulation. You'd be a fool not to. You're not going to tell the populace the actual truth. Heck, businesses large and small don't do that. You can't even get book authors to be honest about their books. They get their friends and family to write 5-star reviews for them so that people will go yeah and buy it, then go WTF?
This whole world participates in press and media manipulation, and honestly, we don't know the whole truth about anything until after the fact when knowing the truth no longer matters. And I laugh when people go on about how the particular news they read are unbiased because they aren't tied to anyone. Even they sensationalise facts and move sh*t around because they need readers. If they simply broadcasted facts as they were, no one would read their articles - especially when the same news story is being carried by all the other so-called truthful. Heck, being a business owner taught me that. PETA, who I absolutely despise, lies about facts, edit videos to make people believe animals are being abused when they aren't, the lying bastards.
Anyone who has had training in sales learns how to mindfuck people into buying their product. Look at how in the last 15 years, people have been suckered to think they have skin allergies to popular cosmetics? I mean, I make natural cosmetics and you wouldn't believe the amount of people who walk by my booth whining about how they can't smell or wear my products because they have allergies. I grabbed one lady and told her to try my lotion and if she could prove to me she was as sensitive as she said she was and produce a rash within a few hours, I'd give her $25. She came back and bought $35 worth of products from me. There wasn't sh*t wrong with that lady, she'd just been bamboozled by all those so-called "natural" products company to think she had allergies so she'd buy their products. My point is: why would the government be any different?
I just be honest and say that I don't know the entire truth of matters. I don't bother to behave like I'm in the know of everything and those who don't listen to me are stupid. No one knows the truth of anything unless they're in on those closed door meetings.
