What the media sometimes gets us to do, is to distract ourselves with a mis-truth. The easiest state to be in is one of ignorance, and the mainstream media in its pre-truth embodiment, accomplishes just that.
No matter the direction the news goes from here, there will be news to cover. Β The functionality of Congress is under scrutiny now more than ever.
