'US media-numbed, bankers pocket $144 billion bonus'

While millions of Americans are unemployed and the national debt is soaring, it seems top financial executives are far from feeling the pinch. A recent Wall Street Journal survey estimates they'll receive a staggering $144 billion dollars in compensation and benefits this year. This amount is equal to the U.S. stimulus package approved by Congress in 2008. Trend forecaster Gerald Celente says Americans are failing to react to the payouts, because the financiers' fanbase in the mainstream media is distracting public opinion.

America is the most successful country in terms of controlling its media and brain wash its people!

The sad thing is that our news is far more distorted than what can be obtained on Russia Today. CNN, CNBC, FOX is all just a bunch of propaganda clap trap and sensationalism. How ironic that during the cold war, Russians could get a western take on the news that was probably more accurate than what the Russians were fed by their state controlled media, now it is our state controlled media making the Russians look good.

@thruid3 Nice to see the Kremlin is now beaming its propaganda to promote social unrest in the US.

So many in the US are not interested in what is going on in the rest of the world, or where they get their news from, as long as it it entertaining and dramatic. If it isnt, they switch over to another channel. That is extreme capatalism for you. Very depressing, how easy it is to influence people who know little about history, or how the world works

RT = shit.

It's "all intents and purposes." What was that about grammar and mind control?

The Zeitgeist Movement is the only Group out there that has brought up some Real and Tangible Solutions to ACTUALLY SOLVE OUR ECONOMICAL, SOCIAL & ECOLOGICAL CRISIS - to know more about it, watch: "Awakening 1/4" (short video) and "Zeitgeist Addendum". Both of them are on YouTube.The SOLUTIONS presented in both videos are already being applied and they have already been proved to work in the short and long run. It's about time to expand/spread it World Wide.

The American people have gotten so lazy they rely solely on the mainstream media for all their information. Eventually the people will take to the streets when entitlements are reduced or eliminated and the dollar is toast. When people get hungry they will react even if they dont understand where the trouble originated. The question is I think, will the reaction effect real change in the US.

Don't you see that this Bobama (from bobo=foolish) will do nothing ???
