That is the cool aid mentality. You guys are being used as pawns. They write those articles to manage your belief systems and values. They use you to spread their message. Its works I guess.
My concern is real. I have no hate for the US. I lived there for 8 years before I moved to where I am at and employed over 100 US citizens at my business there... I am quite serious about the issue at hand the article raised.

I am shocked that this can take place and people aren't screaming out their windows for the madness to stop. This is to me may be the most serious long term threat to democracy and freedom in the US. If the people cannot access independant somewhat objective news and are being manipulated by propoganda disguised as news to make gov't actions get smoothed over in the public and hide the truths about their actions...than what can be worse for a country's future if this practice is taken to an extreme?
