A complicit mainstream media (CMM) is the TROLL answer, although it is accurate. Just needs some foundation based upon historical facts to be credible. I'll lay it down as briefly as I can:
A society can be controlled & its constitutional government ignored with 3 vital components.
1 & 2) By buying off elected Federal officials in Congress & the White House by way of creating a mechanism that creates money from nothing and reinforced with deficit spending. This mechanism is obvious corruption & unconstitutional & it is known as the Federal Reserve. The profiteering & greed herein are addictive and it has been passed on as a legacy since 1913. Today as sheoples, we have come to accept this as the way it is, which of course is BS. It is sold to us as "necessary program legislation to help the people"...also BS.
This scheme would have failed rather quickly had the power elite not co-opted the editors & ownership of the mainstream media simultaneously or rather before the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. This is not difficult to verify.
So who are the 'controllers'...the power elite...BHO', Bush's & Clinton's handlers as well: Imagine a pyramid with only one or two individuals at the top. Let's call them a Rothschild & the Head of the Bank of England; next level down are other international financiers, including the IMF/World Bank Braintrust; down another level we have the Federal Reserve, Deutsche Bank, etc., and somewhere between this level & the one above it are the Bilderbergs, the CFR & the Tri-Lateral Commission.
And why would they do this? The controllers at the very top are confirmed Fabian Socialists and the amount of money that they make from interest on all this money is staggering. Obviously they have the power & control as well. They have been responsible in one way or the other or manipulated outcomes for every boom-bust cycle we've seen since 1920's....Yes, even the greedy sub-prime mortgage meltdown of 2008. This is true of the wars we have fought as well. Makes me sick. Again, if you could comprehend the trillions of dollars these few have made at our expense you would see why they have waged this battle for as long as they have.
But not everyone's getting into the club...not by a longshot.
The U.N., the IMF/World Bank are but the prelude to the New World Order, which thanks to your boy POTUS, we are rapidly approaching.
Sad thing is, this NWO has been packaged & sold to the gullable sheoples as the "future" and isn't it going to be wonderful, oh my! Little do the sheoples realize that it is a rather thinly disguised version of monarchic socialism, which by the way has never worked in recorded history, but these geniuses think they have it all figured out.
So back to the QUESTION: More democrats (most all of them on the Federal side) have fallen under the addictive elixer of the Fed Money Machine and are getting a leg-up from their partners in crime at all major media outlets...hell, FOX is a joke. Sanford is nowhere near this power elite...he's still a State's Rights guy, so he'll make a great target. Remember that the media will slam Dems as well...its all a game to keep the sheoples distracted from what's really going on behind the curtain.
My sources are impeccable.
EDIT:
OMG! The sources provided by the LIB ANSWERERS are all MAINSTREAM MEDIA...CNN, TIME...you people are killing me...err, that's killing America rather...WTF?! One of you even stated to check "the record, the TIME magazine article from 1989..." The RECORD?!...TIME MAGAZINE IS THE OFFICIAL RECORD?! God Help Us All!!!!!
