We're Constantly Being Gamed

SEE HERE Newt Gingrich lays it out there.  If you don't think you're being gamed by the media than maybe you should read this.  The truth of the matter seems to be that there is no fair and unbiased news out there.  You simply have to assume you're being gamed and the only question is what is the agenda.  In that environment, so different from the news environment when I was a kid (or at least it was not so blatant) you have to get the widest possible input and assume that everyone may be lying to you.  If you're lucky you may be able to piece out of the chaos something vaguely resembling the truth.  Even that will be uncertain however.  It's hard to get straight talk from any one these days.  That's why I really liked Herman Cain even more than I like Newt Gingrich.  We need straight talkers and it's time for a change, a big change, in national politics or we're simply going to go down the tubes.  The train wreck has actually happened, we just have not assessed all the damage yet.  You can't have the never ending debt as far as the eye can see, debt measured in tens of trillions of dollars which no-one seems to be able to fully assess and just say "Oh well."  It's not "Oh well" it's total collapse and the only question is likely whether it will be fast or slow.  If we can slow it down maybe we can find a solution.  But make no mistake, the train wreck is here.
