    As I rewatch these 2 things become obvious to me.
    1) John is possibly a mystic who knows the future.
    Or
    2) John is British and lived through Thatcher, so he saw what was coming for America if we continued to follow her economic plan as Reagan championed all the way to TFG.

    Sadly the days of the news being delivered to your door with real content by a paper boy is a thing of the past. We now have fake news, adjusted stories and a lot of people hating you because your telling them the truth and not what they want to hear. We are in trouble, as mush as social media has given us, a lot has created doubt in everything we believed. John,you have a great way of delivering the news, making people see and understand in a very different way. I have learned so much while almost pissing my pants laughing. You rock !

      Lmao, did you actually read the news? It was written at a 5th grade reading level and was always just a long form version of AP or Reuters content. The editors chose what got reported and what didn't.
      There were neighborhoods getting fire bombed by police in the US, in the 80s, that never got reported in newspapers at the time.

    Don’t worry. I do sub to MAX (and YT Prem, so enjoy Prem views). And would definitely be watching this over on MAX if the back catalog was available there. The episodes play in proper sequence on Apple TV on MAX, unlike the backwards playlists here. Plus the vid quality.

    Sounds like newspapers were overcharging for print ads. Web ads allow the purchaser to track how many people actually purchase directly due to the ad. People have never been as easily convinced as ad companies told their customers.
    If they were, we'd have seen more ads for advertizing.
