There is some validity to MLK's adultery and plagiarism, even prominent black scholars like Michael Eric Dyson admits that. But why no mention of E Howard Hunt's death bed confession admitting to playing a role in the JFK assassination? Sounds like the kind of black out the mainstream media would engage in.
@dEdGrimley ... which is sound reasoning except that management of corporations often sacrifice profitability or long term viability in order to pad out their own pay or bonuses.
I return again to a theory I have, that I simply don't have the true know how or resources to investigate, but perhaps someone who does can take my idea and run with it:
When the law was passed that said corporations MUST maximize profit or they can be sued by the shareholders, that was applied to the media as well. The media is forced to make a profit, so they apply "serve the public what they'll buy" theory to what they cover. Good journalism often IS boring and doesn't get the viewers needed.
NIXON was the one that came up with Fox News?
At least he was honest about it being a conservative-leaning network.

There's no validity in MLK adultery. Just like the government tried to destroy Anderson they tried to destroy Kings character.

@dangerouslytalented Well, in that, they can always fall back on the fact that it's required of them.

Nixon begat this guy, he was a reaction to the excesses of his administration, and Nixon's excesses became more excessive because of this guy.
It is a vicious circle, a feedback loop of nastiness.
I have no idea why Liddy and his mob are not still behind bars. They are the kind of criminals that have really wrecked America.
