akenaton, you said in part: ..."the corrupt political system and its tame rat the news and entertainment media is being exposed."

In your first sentence you have made 2 assumptions/claims. It is NOT obvious to everyone that the political system 'as a whole' is corrupt, nor that they control and/or significantly influence the media. There are examples of corruption and unwarranted influence, but sweeping generalizations are no more useful in analyzing the issues than they are when politicians use them to cajole the public.

Jim Carroll, DMcG, Big Al, Steve Shaw and Donuel have all tried to get at the basic point, and I agree with much they have said and if I had more time, would like to enlarge, discuss and critique some of their points. I simply don't sit here 12 hours a day monitoring the posts.
   I do recognize when someone takes a few words from someone's comment and instantly does a 90 degree turn in order to REstate their own pet themes and beliefs. It's like watching KellyAnne Conway... or many other political figures... respond to a question by changing the subject in order to regurgitate their side's talking points.

   I renew my requests to help clarify the issues... and "They are all crawling out from under their stones spitting bile.. is not exactly helpful...
