On The Media: The System is Rigged.

According to this broadcast, some citizens withing our country feel the political system is rigged.  Citizens are basing this accusation around the fact that media coverage is unfair to political parties and candidates.  Also, accusations surrounding the voting system as being fraudulent are also being expressed.  Assuming these citizen believe that one presidential candidate is receiving fraudulent votes. The votes are either made up, cast by illegal immigrants, and go as far as saying that deceased citizens votes have been casts.  Undermining the basic infrastructure of our democratic society is only going to lead to uncertainty among American voters in the future.
Along with our political system, citizens feel as if our societal structure is rigged in favor of those of privilege.  I personally agree with this accusation.  Everyone has herd the phrase "the rich get richer, the poor get poorer".  This is more prevalent than  I think most would like to admit.  For example, someone driving an expensive car is much less likely to run  into expensive problems down the road.  Poorer drivers are continuously using savings to fix their broken down vehicles instead of saving for a newer car.  Academically, this is just as prevalent. Those who are well off in the first place are much more likely to succeed academically and financially in the future.
