99% of the MSM political "news" is political theatre for the small fraction of citizens that are actually paying attention.
 The politicians, as GW Bush said, "dance with the one(s) that brought them". i.e. the lobbyists from the 1%'s corporations.
  Their election platforms are just, as HR Clinton told the Wall Street crowd in her $200,000 one hour speech,  her/his "Public Policy" i.e. lies .
 Research has shown there is no significant correlation between politician's supposed policies and the actual legislation enacted. 
  An informed citizenry, as one of the founding fathers of the US said, is essential to a democracy. This is why anti democratic forces have worked tirelessly to remove media ownership, market monopoly and other legislation such as the Fairness Doctrine and eliminate political contribution limits.
 Now that that has been achieved we have news that , as Jackson Browne said; "the more you watch the less you know". 

Vive la 1% !   others? ....not so much.
