There was a some folks we learned about once, who lived out in the Midwest States, and this is a short story that some friends from out that way told us about way back in the day, and we think that it goes straight to the heart of what Trump is up against today with the media.
The short story recalled is this, you see there was some property owners once, who had an issue with some zoning on a piece of property that they owned, and they wanted to help some family members move onto the property, but didn't realize that the zoning had been changed without their knowledge of. Well one government agency allowed the permit to begin the move (putting things into motion & causing investments to be made), but another government agency denide a crucial rezoning permit to finish the move.
Next a few year's of fighting insued, and it ran on into meeting after meeting, where the next thing the elites did in order to try and stop the problem was this; they sent in the corrupt media (in this case) in an attempt to detach the story from the local support that it had gained by somehow trashing the story. The media then showed up as if they were going to do a story on how the poor family was just trying to help their family members (i.e. they thought when the media showed up this would be the case), but then they did a story that was totally against the property owners instead, and so much so that it shocked them and their supporters upon what had taken place.
They (the media) left there leaving the family to think however, that they were on their side, but when the story broke they quickly realized the media had done a hit job on them for the elitist puppet masters they were loyal to or were serving. Well it didn't work because they had the people on their side, and the pressure got so great that the bad actors all finally caved in the situation. The family members moved in a few years late because of it all, but the job got done regardless of the media hit job they suffered in the event.
People should realize just how corrupt the media can be, and Trump is exactly right. The question is how do you stop a corrupt media if caught engaging in hit jobs instead of reporting the news honestly & decently ? To much power, corruption, and special interest are being represented over the common interest or citizens of today, and this is the result of a divided nation in which had gotten way worse in the last few decades or more. Hopefully those people didn't ever experience anything like that again, and God Bless them in their lives in which they have lived happily together for the many years since then upon the lands in which they own.
