I sometime wonder if people voted for Brexit because of the BBC stance
on the subject.


TV is a big influence. Which is why I prefer to source elsewhere. In
the case of Hillary, it may be that her campaign did, indeed, give less
hope to people?

Another reasoning was that, because media gave Hillary a top of the
leaderboard stance, Hillary supporters, feeling confident, didn't bother
to get up and vote?

Television, other than a few programs, is mostly worthless.

My Grandad, during the 60's said, 'Son, never watch adverts. Pay
little attention to news'.

Broadcasters want us to sit still and watch.

Given that TV is big business, why should I ever believe that; what
they offer is in disregard for the business of itself and, is benefit to
me? How many businesses do that?

While on the subject of TV, beware the Smart device. A camera that
feeds much info to the controllers.

One night, you will invite a few friends around for a drink and a
film(disregarding it's source), only for the tv to tell you, 'Sorry, too
many viewers!'. Of course, like Cookies on the PC, only forced upon us
with best intentions and our best viewing experience at heart'. Aaawh,
so nice!

As for Hillary and Trump? Looking through the Net, Trump has done a
few things that have upset quite a few, ordinary, people. A golf course
in Scotland, as an instance.

Hillary, along with Mr Clinton? Out and out killer.

We will never, likely, find a 'people empowering' piece of news on TV.
Does anyone remember the 'all channels' exclusive news of 2011; Iceland
jailing bankers and ministers? There's a good reason we didn't!
