@MarkoKraguljac I agree.
Have a pleasant day.

[TOTCD]

@MarkoKraguljac dude they're just giving us intelligence.
They're not picking sides here.

[MarkoKraguljac]

@TOTCD We obviously have trouble understanding each other and written form is not making things easier in this case. Be well.

[MarkoKraguljac]

@TOTCD No, they are not picking sides.. they are just following path of least resistance. Thats not intelligence but a somewhat sophisticated form of corporate media discourse. And masses, already well conditioned to corporate interests receive such approach as logical and thoughtful. True intelligence will always scrutinize concentrations of power. True intelligence breaks stereotypes and demystifies. But its so cozy in corporate bed. Someone has to pay expenses after all.

@MarkoKraguljac What? Are you saying all corporations are evil?
If you are then I really think you are out of your mind.
And also atleast some company is trying to give us their analysis based on their research.
And with actual people who are qualified for the job.
They're not predicting the future like witches. They give us their take.
That is why we watch and read it.
And in your comment you said 'you people' you view them as americans.
Not as analysts. I think you're biased and wrong
