P.T. Barnum Was Correct

So Was Thomas Jefferson

       P. T. Barnum was a Connecticut dandy who lived large from 1810 till 1891. He founded Barnum & Bailey Circus and made a lot of money -- by not underestimating the taste {or the intelligence} of the American people. All these decades later, in 2016, the U. S. media and the U. S. political circus have decided to heed P.T.'s advice. And, like P.T., they are raking in the cash while also making a joke of the U. S. democracy.

 Proof that P.T. Barnum was correct.

TV pundits replaced Mr. Jefferson's newspapers.

Pundits prove both Mr. Barnum

and Mr. Jefferson were correct.

That's the way the post-Cronkite media is.
