I saw someone recently say something like, "Oh sure, we have corruption, we just call it 'lobbying.'"

Do you have a link re: USAID/CIA? That's a new one to me. I did a search and could only find one article from 2014.

I wish we had real journalism, like we need us some Woodward and Bernstein, but most of the media is owned by a handful of megacorporations and are just as corrupt as everything else.
