Yup. It’s like giving you a silver car free from primer, paint and clear coat. It would save the manufacturer oodles of cash.

And I’d also like to remind people that news’s primary focus is not to report facts, but generate sales. The way they do that is spinning events in any way shape or form. Even going so far as not covering certain topics because it may hurt their bottom line.

The worst thing they did was convince people they were unbiased and trustworthy.
