"Maverick" is perfect.

The important thing is that the corrupt political system and its tame rat the news and entertainment media is being exposed. They are all crawling out from under their stones spitting bile......THEY are afraid....very afraid. The myth is crumbling.

Regarding Barthes, I agree with DMcG he has exposed one small area of a huge movement......in the main the public are starting to reject neo- liberalism and social "liberalism", they don't believe it anymore, they want a life for their children and themselves.
They have finally made the connection between left, right, and the media.......the biggest con in history.
