10. My mother was a polisci/history major

so we would hear a lot of "history" in the house (she would have been 95 this year). One thing she did talk about and remind us about all the time was "propaganda" and "yellow journalism". And that is exactly what we are going through. The difference is, unfortunately, that due to technology, it has gone full blown insane thanks to the internet (which now adds to the print media and broadcast media of the past that is still around). She grew up before the TV era (which happened when she was a teen) but the print, radio, and movie industries were filled with it.

The "moguls" (robber barons, media barons, train barons, etc) have always been around. Remember too that in the past, the Senators were not elected but were patronage jobs appointed by state governors (until they changed the Constitution).
