1) This is a good question and because I've had so many new follows, a refresher on "who" the so-called media is will be helpful. This is called "history."

4) We had just emerged from the "Era of Good Feelings" in which there was a single party known as the "democratic/republicans," but parties as we knew them didn't exist. What "party" there was was little more than a men's club.

8) Oddly, he was anti-slave but had inherited a slave, who ran off. MVB never sought to find him.
9) MVB was from Kinderhook, NY, where he was a member of a club called "Old Kinderhook." If you were a member, you were "OK." Even the so-called racist symbol is from him.

10) In 1820, the U.S. Congress through the Missouri Compromise sought to end the future of slavery in America. The slave & free states were evenly divided in number, but a large territory, from the Louisiana Purchase, lay open for new states.

12) I'm getting to the Hoax News media. But an understanding of the whole series of developments is key.
13) MVB wasn't the only one who believed if the North got too many votes it would cause a war. An aging Thomas Jefferson said the MO Compromise woke him like a . . .

14) With 2 years til the next election, MVB planned to get Jackson elected, but instead of relying on caucuses, he had another plan. Get the people involved in a new, mass political party.
He called it the Democratic Party.

15) There was one purpose & one purpose only for the Democrats: get & hold power forever so as to protect & preserve slavery.
The DemoKKKrats are, were, & always will be the party of slavery and race hate.

16) MVB's new party would operate on totally new principles. His main question: How do you persuade anti-slave northerners to support/protect slavery?
His answer was simple & brilliant. Money.
17) He would bribe them with promises of jobs, either party (local, state, national)

19) In addition to flat out bribing people with jobs, MVB sought to indoctrinate them by for the first time ever creating a large number of "newspapers" that would do nothing but parrot party propaganda.
That was it. They were NOT to report "news."

20) We are talking full blown Baghdad Bobs here. MVB hired many of the editors himself. ALL were "Jackson men." No deviation was permitted.
One editor of a prominent paper was asked his views on certain subjects. "My views are those of Andrew Jackson."

21) Ready for this? NONE of them made money. That's because they were not designed to make money. They were designed to be the propaganda organs of the DemoKKKrat Party.

24) They probably think they sell "news" & voracious readers read it. Nope.

25) MVB's DemoKKKrat Party subsidized almost all of these papers. There was no such thing as an "objective" paper.
One scholarly investigation of antebellum papers (or is that Lady Antebellum Papers?) found that at least 85% of all "newspapers" were totally controlled by 1 party

27) Now, I could go into a history of journalism after the Civil War, where it briefly "appeared" to change for a while (about 75 years), but it never has left its roots.
