I'll answer her first question...you don't look like an idiot but, alas, you are. If it weren't for the media everything would be fine and there would be no racism in America today! The media makes us act like animals, it makes sure we get get arrested and end up going to prison and ending up with poor educational systems. What a profound understanding of the world today. Get rid of the media and everything is fine.
^ I suppose you fell for the narrative, to which obama spent 3 plus trillion dollar on media, tax payers money, promoting his narrative and brainwashing the people so that they were on board. Media loved Obama because he paid them handsomely for their services, and said whatever he wanted.
I did a little look into this on my own. Seems psymon is right. Not sure why all of you state opinions or statistics without providing back up, but I will help psymon out. Looks like obama did abuse tax payers money terribly with propaganda/self promotion http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/oct/5/obama-administration-hires-hundreds-pr-staffers/ http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/2015/10/09/Obama-Administration-Spent-Billions-Image-Advertising http://www.wnd.com/files/100815issapropagandareport.pdf
Well, he claimed the figure 3 trillion and also made it sound like Obama paid the media directly, which is not quite the same as paying for PR ..so I wouldn't say he was right, he made a pretty misleading statement
