\”Advertising ministers to the spiritual side of trade. It is great power that has been entrusted to your keeping which charges you with the high responsibility of inspiring and ennobling the commercial world. It is all part of the greater work of the regeneration and redemption of mankind. ~ #Calvin Coolidge
Gov Skull
Keep in mind, the news media are not independent; they are a sort of bulletin board and Public Relations firm for the ruling class-the people who run things. Those who decide what news you will or will not hear are paid by, and tolerated purely at the whim of, those who hold economic power. If the parent corporation doesn\’t want you to know something, it won\’t be on the news. Period. Or, at the very least, it will be slanted to suit them, and then rarely followed up. – George Carlin
