I think the media influences most American's. The media is 90% bullshit. They make their money by entertaining their viewers with bullshit. People like horror movies, and that's what the media provides them. They say the economic growth has slowed down after months of growth because American's are afraid to spend money because they hear bad news every time that turn on the TV, duh, that's because you keep them afraid by focusing on the 10% bad news.

Its hard to escape the bs, propaganda coming out of msm and the govt, now its the medias fault, and peoples fault for talking about realities of life, there was no housing boom, it was a scam created by wall st(goldman and assoc.) and corrupt politicians and cronies to tranfer money from your pockets to theirs, along with their war rackets and other fascist scams, but hey dont mention it, it might bring your moral down, wtf. Are we a bunch 16 yrs old or something this is laughable.
