    One of the things that fuels the media narrative, of course, is sensationalism. With the rise of social media we got the democratisation of sensationalism - for instance, people on a football forum suggesting the news media are a disgrace and believing we are in an ideological war. What happened to the fact based narrative? Seems like we all like a dramatic story.

    We are living in interesting times, when last was there such political turmoil everywhere you look? Even Merkel is standing down from her party role. Regarding the media, I'm going to double down, they are players in everything that is going on right now.

    Gosh, doubling down on I quote "they are players in everything that is going on right now". You couldn't be a bit more vague could you?

    Is Trump Russia Collusion real or was it a setup? At the end of the day this it what it's all about, everything else is window-dressing.

    Ok - the media are supposedly complicit in the Trump Russia Collusion (thought that was a special investigation initiated by Trump appointees but hey-ho). That just leaves everything else that is going on right now to explain!

    The hysteria we are witnessing now is all connected to that investigation. There are two possible outcomes, so it will be interesting to see which one is correct. Until then it's pointless discussing it, as everybody has such a polarised viewpoint regarding what went on.

    Don't let polarised views stop you setting out your evidence, (in the unlikely event that you have any). So given that you have nothing concrete on " For a start Trump is a sideshow, he's not the main event" or "they are players in everything that is going on right now" then give "The hysteria we are witnessing now is all connected to that investigation" a go!
