Funny thing is that the "News" is not even good "theater", because good "theater" would have all the drama not just slanted propaganda.
Our example of slanted press was when the local newspaper, The Potomac News, published our names and address when we were arrested but had not been convicted. I expected that they would be interested in a story that might provide some "local drama", thought that I could get them to obtain the store video of the police assault - maybe I scared the cops, but no one knows because the authorities are corrupt and no longer follow "due process". The paper never responded to my letter, neither did the police chief or Mayor.
The press is just a mouthpiece for propaganda, not real news.
