... as the veils of emotional outbursts begin to settle and the waves of rage recede, we need to take a clear and objective look at what got us to where we are, today, what were the drivers and who - collectively, were those responsible. The Media is the first element that springs to mind. For the last 18 months, the main talking channels - Fox News, MSNBC and CNN have inundated our homes with a barrage of dis-information - some would call it opinions, others, just plain trash. Either way it was almost impossible to step away from this. At it's worst, the output was slanted - for the particular party supported, against everything and everyone else. Mattered not that the information was spun and positioned, it poured forward, unceasingly. Stations promoted or ignored candidates based solely on ratings - the bigger the perceived draw, the more often that candidate appeared. That said, Donald Trump rated # 1 and basked in the glory of continual media coverage.
