Most smart people know that the mainstream media is controlled by huge companies at the highest level and they are simply puppets and not news reporters any longer. The majority of what we hear is not news but simply filtered PR and sensation stories that have filtered their way to the top of the pile in social media. If you take the time to read these blogs daily below, it will guarantee you to become smarter about interpreting the mainstream liberal news.
Social media is merely a representation of what is popular and not necessarily what is important. This drives news reports to talk about stupid things that any normal intelligent person would just ignore as a waste of time. Bloggers have taken over the role of reporting the news in finance, economics and politics. Bloggers do the best job of dissecting and interpreting the mainstream liberal media news, which is very hard to do. Some bloggers are reckless about not checking facts but information does have a way of getting filtered out eventually.
Here are the best blogger news sources I read that help support my conservative views about politics, economy and finance. I read them daily because the mainstream news is typically old, non-original and derived from blogger sources. At the same time it is virtually impossible in depth coverage of to get quality news coverage from NBC, CBS, ABC and even Fox. You can also follow this list on Twitter at Smarter Political News. Here are two other Twitter lists I am building that do a good job of interpreting the biased financial press and technology news. Smarter Tech NewsSmarter Financial News
📦 Google Reader Manager Subscription Bundles — How to Tag Your Content with Product IDs
Google has made it easier for publishers to manage premium content using Reader Manager inside the Google Publisher Center. If you're offering subscription-based access to your content, the Product ID system is the key to unlocking and organizing what your paying readers see.
By using Product IDs, you can associate content across your website with specific subscription plans. Anyone who subscribes to a given bundle can instantly access any article, video, or page tagged with the corresponding Product ID. Think of it like tagging content behind a digital paywall — but Google does the heavy lifting to authenticate access for you.
🔑 How Product IDs Work
To link your content to a specific subscription plan in Reader Manager, all you need to do is:
Create or edit a subscription bundle in Google Reader Manager.
Assign one or more Product IDs to that bundle (e.g., SPORTS2025, PREMIUMNEWS, or LOCAL-EXCLUSIVE).
Use those same Product IDs to tag your premium content in your CMS or backend system.
When a reader subscribes, Google checks the plan’s Product IDs and automatically grants access to all matching content.
✅ Why Use Product IDs?
Using Product IDs gives you complete flexibility to:
Bundle related topics (e.g., all investigative journalism under one plan).
You can create a bundled plan called “City Deep Dive” and link all three Product IDs to that plan. Readers who subscribe to this plan through Google will get instant access to everything tagged with those IDs, no matter when it was published.
Click on your publication, then navigate to Reader Revenue > Manage Subscriptions.
Create a Subscription Plan, choose a name, price, and duration.
Add the Product IDs that correspond to your premium content.
Save and publish. That’s it.
Now make sure your articles include metadata or tagging in the backend that aligns with those Product IDs.
🔧 Pro Tip
Use structured data to help Google crawl and verify your Product ID associations. You can also tag article markup with the productID field to ensure smooth integration.
If you're a digital publisher or content creator with premium material, this is a no-brainer. Product IDs are the simplest way to give your readers access to the content they paid for — and Google’s system does the gatekeeping.
Have multiple sites or publications? Product IDs make it easy to bundle cross-platform content into one seamless subscription.

I asked chat GPT these questions and these were the answers it gave me below. I realize there is more detail to this response but politics and money play a huge role. Lying by omission is a huge problem in the real estate industry and the lack of disclosures is largely driven by the governing body National Association of Realtors.
