    Incredible theory. Did you come up with it on your own? Search engines are blank on this. Want to read more!

    Thanks

      You’re being facetious, but anyone else that really wants more, search “Manufacturing Consent”.

      The advertisement angle is just one way to influence how media reports. You could also just start buying stations whole sale, like Sinclair did.

        Sorry for my difficult to discern tone. Oops! Receipt talk-

        My tabs from last night:

        My comment two weeks ago:

        The BP bribe theory is terribly cunning and nobody else talking about it came up in the first few DuckDuckGo/Google results. Never heard anybody mention it in 2010 either.

        Edit: I guess the point would be discussions on the topic may not mention each individual case of bribery because the practice is pervasive.
