Foreign state interference is the story the media has decided to go with. It shields corporate powers and provides a scapegoat. Having an external entity seen as causing this threat plays into our fears.

The truth is corporate interests have over taken and reshaped the news and media properties they vertically own.

Does it worry you that your news promotes a culture filtered through corporate interests? Do you remember the last news story on corporate interests altering the news? You won't get that news story.. because no one wants you to think that is an issue.

They want you to be scared of foreign entities but ignore the killer sitting beside you.



Foreign interference generally does flow in from US based corporations... I'm not excusing anyone stateside.
