My great awakening moment to government and the MSM occurred in the early '80s. After that, it became pretty obvious.
Had a summer job in CO, and that summer there was this argument going on in Colorado Springs between the city and the people. It was all over the local news. The city wanted an area of new construction zoned with minimal spacing between the houses, and the people were arguing that it was a bad idea. In the middle of it, some contractor from CA came in and put a dozen huge floodlights up on Pikes Peak - made the top of the mountain look like it was on fire. Well, then the environmentalists got involved, and there was this 3 week fight to remove the floodlights, which they eventually did.
In the meantime - the city of Colorado Springs quietly passed the zoning ordinance, and it was a couple days afterwards that they decided to have the lights taken down, and then it was on to the next story of the day, and anyone objecting to the zoning ordinance was ignored.
There's more to this story. I have a friend from college who lives in that same part of town that they started building on under the new zoning laws. Went out to visit him after the fires hit the area. Saw the devastation from the fires they had - most of the densely built area burned up. 100's of houses a pile of ashes - cars still on the garage slab, appliances burnt up - still where they had been installed.
I don't remember what Obummer was doing at the time, there was so much going on that's it's hard to know what crime they were .... oh, look, squirrel....
