Something stinks in politics

We all want to get along, kinda like Rodney King in L.A.

But for the umteenth time a rash of bad economic news, especially news leads and titles when the actual economic news is much better, starts to smell like an attempt to hoodwink us Americans. I could even buy this, until it coincides with the election cycle. Something is rotten in Denmark, as the old saying goes.

There is much about how bad the mainstream media is in being an adjunct of the democratic party. That's fine too since most of us just tune them out, and they lose jobs slowly but surely.

My question is are these American people deliberately propogandists in the worse Nazi sort of way, or even mean spirited enough to try trick us into voting their way. Do they love or even respect their country? Is some other utopian or potitical agenda at play? And the barbarians are at the gates.
