Who's Really In Control?

Latley I have been doing a lot of thinking about the media, and about the government.  Honestly, I feel like the news is always so negative, and dramatic, and it is virtually impossible to find a news channel that is unbiased and that just tells the people the truth. I the government probably has so many people wrapped around their fingers in the media that we only see, what they say we can see.  There is so much propaganda, and honestly I really do wonder how much is really being kept from us.  I wonder how much the truth is being bent, slanted, ignored, and stretched?  What can we, the people believe, and what can't we? This system is created such that the rich get richer, the poor stay poor, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.  We have men and women fighting in a war, and have no idea what really is happening there, or what really are the reasons why we are there.
   The problem is we believe it.  We eat up their lies, in fact, we welcome them, we thank them.  We are blind sheep following the rest of the sheep right to the wolf's mouth.  We have created the problem because we are too easy to fool.  They pull the wool over our eyes and we can not stop it, because we are unaware. The question is: who is really in control? The answer? Well...let's just say knowledge is power.
