Patterns

Are their patterns in the way the news is covered?

Only 1 in 4 people trust the government compared to 4 out of 5 back in the 1960s. The level of trust in the country is down even from Watergate. It is frustrating to see how Americans think that the U.S. sense of democracy is the best form of democracy in this world. It is the high water mark of the human race! Howis it that two political parties represent 280 million people in this country!?!

A sense of powerlessness is spreading across America. A significant amount of people in our country already don't vote or care about the issues -- tuned out entirely. The top 1% controls 90% of the wealth and have the power of two major political parties doing their bidding for them. The other 99% have no represenation at all. Yet that same 99% runs around with American flag stickers on their classes screaming that America is a great place to live because we have freedom and rights.
