One would think that the average Joe would be waking up to the fact that the media believe that they are running the world and that all the elected politicians are of no consequence other than those who support tax $ funding of the media. If you ever wondered whether the media are left of center , you need only peruse the financial media and the so called public media. The media actually seem to appear to think that they are God appointed.  I have even had journalists say that to me.
