The elite try to tell people what to think and they will if the populace let's them. Essentially we make them the elite by default. It's one of the main reasons many people have such a skewed view of what is important. For example, Thursday, I was working (I watch very little television) but was told it was all day juice coverage. Who cares? Does anyone ever ask themselves that? Unless Simpson moves next to you :( I have no vested interest in that dude whatsoever. How many times do you still hear though: "It was on the news," when it comes to opinion. Everyone is an analyst. So if CNN says something a lot of people are too intellectually lazy to look it up and see if it's true. Fox is same way. These are multinational corporations. They want ratings,...money. Do your own research.
