Then that tag leads to an article which says:
Left and right united in opposition to controversial SCOTUS decision
And then within the body of the propaganda is:
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that the vast majority of Americans are vehemently opposed to a recent Supreme Court ruling that opens the door for foreign and domestic corporations, labor unions, and other organizations to spend money directly from their general funds to influence campaigns.

This is the reason we have a Constitution and a Supreme Court that is intended to protect our fundamental rights such as to free speech. This is the reason that we are Republic first and a Democracy second. To the degree that our constitution has been ignored we have become a nation of not one dictator but a nation of lots of dictators. The propagandist in the media, like the ordinary leaders of a lynch mob, do their best to stir the populace into thinking like a mob no matter where that mob mentality might lead America.
If indeed 80% of the population has been convinced by the elite media to think the Supreme Court was wrong in ruling in favor of free speech, then that just proves the Supreme Court was correct in trying to bring a more varied voice to the ears of the American people. It is not the American people afraid of free speech when they understand that is the issue. It is not the American people afraid to hear the voices of diverse groups of interest. It is big media and big government afraid of that discussion.
The media and government likes to speak to the evils of special interest because they want only their interest heard. In truth we are all members of various special interest groups. In truth we all have been denied some representation in public discussion which is why so many of us feel disenfranchised from our own government. General Electric doesn't speak for me. Disney and ABC doesn't speak for me. The Washington Post sure as hell doesn't speak for me. With more open political debate as should be created by the Supreme Court ruling, just maybe more of our points of view will be brought into public debate and discourse. Perhaps the ruling will cause a more diverse group of people to be elected to Congress to represent more points of view.
If the message isn't valid. If the message does not speak to what the American people believe, then it doesn't matter how much money is spent to influence opinion. A varied voice will not have the same power to influence that a monopolistic voice, the elite media, has enjoyed to the detriment of America. A more varied voice will raise political discussion to a more intellectual level and move the discussion away from the cult of personality. Current political discussion often seems to have about as much intellectual insight as a group of children name calling on the playground.
While the elite media rants and raves about how bad the Supreme Court ruling was, in truth it comes at a time when there are more outlets for political discussion than ever before. The elite media, regardless of the ruling, can no longer control politics in America. Why should anyone want to deny anyone a voice in the multitude of outlets where advertisements can be bought and free discussions can be had.
I know what was going to be the next phase, the slippery slope, of what the elite media and government was planning and the Supreme Court made the RIGHT decision. The Supreme Court protected us.
