27. Ron Paul is a kookie old man who has racist tendencies.

28. Ron Paul is too old to be presendent (08 & 12 memos) even though nothing about age is brought up about Trump (and he is the oldest elected president in history).

29. Libertarians are weak with foreign policy and every terrorist in the world will blow us up if we elect one. Then the press (every time) will preface Introducing either Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Justin Amash, Thomas Macey, et al on any political news show as "libertarian leaning Republican."

This game is fun.

Your overthinking this. Corporations are not people. Think about it. Count to 100. Think about it again.

The mainstream media said "Corporations are not people. Justice Scalia is an evil extremist"

Only SCOTUS said it was people. The news said otherwise.

I put all of the 25 stories in (more or less) order of time period. While today the press is "against" corporate personhood, in the Gilded Age, after the (not so) Civil War, the Supreme Court ruled that Corporations are people, with the help from the New York Press. After the ruling, the lie became office US Policy. they still teach this in high schools and universities. Regardless it's still as much fake news as the Supreme Court ruling 2+2=5. Just nonsense.
