I don't know about you guys, but I just lived through a presidential election in which pretty much all of the major corporations, including the entire media and entertainment industry, were aligned against a guy who won anyway, despite what corporations wanted, lobbied, and paid for.

Where is the problem again?

Yeah, things are fine. That's why Trump was elected because everybody believes in the system.

p.s. If Phillip Morris was adjudicated now, with Citizens United as law, you'd be watching cigarette ads this minute.

Corporations are like any other tool; they can be used for good or ill.
