The news in America is driven by corporate interests (advertisers) and the
Government.  Any opinions hurting corporate profits or evidence given by
various truth movements is summarily thrown out.

For instance, in school, I learned that CO2 was as important as Oxygen in the
life cycles of plants and animals.  Now the Elite puppeted by Al Gore are
saying CO2 causes global warming and they want to tax sources that create CO2
including cattle flatulence and I suppose, also, the right to breath.

I listenend to a survey yesterday, where people were asked if they would sign a
petition banning dihydrogen oxide. People were told it is a chemical used in
almost every product on the shelf.  They received over 100 signatures in a
short period. People didn't know, ask or care, that what they were signing was
a ban on H2O (water).

It shows how utterly stupid people are and how easily controlled they are.

People are easily controlled by news and advertising.
