The farce of 'public service'...

[Ventura77]

Many great Americans have served in Congress

`
`
Many great Americans have served themselves and their corporate donors in Congress. - corrected for accuracy.

Possibly

And many have served long careers serving We the People

...more than likely serving their own narrow interests through the corrupt--and corrupting---hall of Congress

 

[rightwinger]

Our elected representatives are the backbone of our Constitutional government
We the People send them to Washington to represent our interests and do what is best for the General Welfare of us all

We have the most honest elected officials on earth. If anyone denies this you are welcome to provide a country with more honest officials

In 2018 we have to send them packing!

The United States has something called a free press, For over two hundred years, the press has served as the peoples eyes, ears and speech to monitor our elected representatives and report when they are corrupt, self serving or engaged in illegal activities

Now the free press is a corrupt and treasonous organization that should be put down.

Are you honestly naive enough to believe that we live under a 'free press?" Media ownership has never been this concentrated or this limited...sigh

A free press keeps America free

There is more open access to the media and access to create media than in any time of our history. Nobody owns the media any more than someone owns the internet

How are you able to post this thread with limited media ownership?

once again for the learning impaired: the mainstream press has never been more limited in the scope of its reporting...if you propose to dispute this fact there is plenty of documentation available...nothing reported through the mainstream press is credible!

Ridiculous

America no longer is limited to mainstream press to get its news. With the internet, you have access to almost every newspaper in the world, you can read opinions from all over the political spectrum....you can even get your own opinions published at the click of a mouse

We have never had a freer press

And yes...the mainstream press is credible and conforms to strict journalistic standards

So you admit the media is nothing but opinion. That's a start.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! you just soundly contradicted yourself winger!! You stated that we 'have a free press' you said nothing about alternative media...to opine that mainstream press observes 'strict journalistic standard' begs for proof which you do not furnish...hence you spout clueless opinion rather than fact...

It is all part of a free press

Alternative media is still a free press

Yes, our major networks conform to strict standards of journalism and correct themselves when they are in error

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

How many Congressmen and women who never had a real job amass net worths of many millions? No one ever seems to question it. The 'public servant' gig pays incredibly well if you play the game and become a career politician.

Ironically most of them have law degree as well...speaks volumes for law school doesn't it?

College Education Is a Fraud and Should Not Be Rewarded

Americans will never admit that the university graduates greedy or power-hungry zombies because all college means is work without pay. Because of that unnatural lifestyle for seven years, lawyers spend the rest of their lives making up for lost time.

Flash and Fallacy

The First Amendment was ordered because the plutocracy owned all the Colonial newspapers and wanted to make money through the uncensored use of sensationalism.

The Real 'Fake News' Is The Mainstream Media

Nearly two-thirds of Americans say the mainstream press is full of fake news, a sentiment that is held by a majority of voters across the ideological spectrum.

According to data from the latest Harvard-Harris poll, which was provided exclusively to The Hill, 65 percent of voters believe there is a lot of fake news in the mainstream media.

That number includes 80 percent of Republicans, 60 percent of independents and 53 percent of Democrats. Eighty-four percent of voters said it is hard to know what news to believe online.

“Much of the media is now just another part of the partisan divide in the country with Republicans not trusting the ‘mainstream’ media and Democrats seeing them as reflecting their beliefs,” said Harvard-Harris co-director Mark Penn. “Every major institution from the presidency to the courts is now seen as operating in a partisan fashion in one direction or the other.”

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Not one honest man has run for reelection...

I don't agree with that. I think are some who actually do believe in the idea of personal freedom and liberty, but they are only a handful and there aren't enough of them to have much of an affect. Of course, at the end of the day, the American people are to blame because we elect them and reelect them despite knowing what they do. People care more about partisanship than results and ethics.
