Although funny, this video has an important point. Corporate media stations throughout the country actively foster false notions about common sense issues and ignore or dumb down serious problems in our local communities.
Some of the most revealing moments are when the news media claims not to actively create these phantom stories and then thrusts them upon the public anyway.
I live in New York City, where there are serious problems with public transportation, education, and the political system here. Democrats control the city council, but there is no serious re-election pressure against our representatives. All we get on local news are stories about the weather, superficial shopping tips, and low-income crime.
