Web, I will take a guess.....
I work for Boeing, it is so diverse in the global market, that local economies don't have much sway or impact on their over all investments.
A down market in Europe, but an upmarket in Asia, etc, balances out.
Now take that to our stock market.
The investors want to make money, duh.
These investors have jobs, so to speak, to earn money so they can invest.
One job holder is a democrat politician.
Another a republican politician.
Both invest in that market, hoping for the same effect, earnings.
Well the democrats jobs is to keep his job, so he can earn money to buy more stock, get richer.
Same with the republican.
A great investment is the war industry.
Pays great returns.
Both wanting high yields, invest in those companies.
The republican does it straight up, under the the guise of a strong force reduces the risk of war, etc.
The democrat talks chit about war, to keep his job, but has no qualms about investing in those industries covertly.
Re: the media, like a evangelical traveling pastor pitching his tent in a new surrounding every night, he gets a fresh cash crop from those wanting to pay to hear what they want...
He does it under the name of Jesus.....
The media does it under the name of capitalism.
The very same capitalism that practices sexism and racism for profit.
And the aristocrats lived happily ever after, as the useful fools, like the little piggie, went, oink, oink....... all the way home
