U.S.A. "news media" no longer provide "news," they are propaganda machines, and cannot be depended upon for accurate information. As we move toward a time where we might have a world government, it would be good if unbiased news sources evolved. The international bankers that have taken over the United States are not benevolent to the people of their or other countries, and demonstrate the same selfish greed that we see in gas distribution pipeline control. The same problems in distribution of fossil fuels (including natural gas) will greatly increase as China and India increase their consumption, and strain distribution channels while taxing limited sources.
