Default News or Sleight of Hand?

I've been watching the White House briefings. Some reporters' questions are just ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is how some media outlets report on the briefings. It's as if they were reporting on something from an alternative universe. Spin is one thing, but there is a lot of outright propaganda passing itself off as reporting.

The 24 hour a day news networks aren't all about news. Much of their programming is now commentary and editorializing. Jim Acosta, Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and Sean Hannity are not reporters. There are other issues going on that are not being reported. It makes me think we are all being distracted by one or two issues while something bigger and more subtle is going on over in the corner of the room.

Prager U posted a video on Youtube a couple days ago. A young man in California conducted an interview with an executive of Sun Trust Bank. If you are a retiree and living off social security and an IRA or 401(k), you really need to watch this interview. The media won't be reporting on this until it's too late to do anything about it.
