Konyok,
I share your confusion. Relying on media for current information can be like studying a light-bulb while thinking you are looking at the sun.

This is not accidental. The intention of most media organizations to confine the “news” consumer to an artificial, controlled theater.

There is hope, though. As the content in media products diverges from our elected Executive’s pronouncements the dissonance will, I think, enforce the Executive branch of government and bring citizens back to the Re-Public.

In a nutshell, folks will begin to tune-out the dissonant, unelecteds’ messages in favor of those uttered by accountable office-holders.

The fifth column, I think, is falling, and the Georgian conflict as it is silhouetted by cogent discussions on interactive New Media outlets like Wretchard’s could be giving it a helping, final push.
