To my way of thinking it is far more precise than it is vague. Things are not so simple. No, they are not so simple. Things are quite complex.
This Politics Forum - like all others I've seen - has problems. My statements in this forum are intended to be off the norm. Why? Because it is clear that the norm in here - and in political speech in general - is a problem.
I'm trying to do something different with it. That's what I'm doing here.

If Bush '43 holding only 1/7 of the press conferences in the same length of time that his father, Bush '41 managed to hold, is that not a cause of concern to
you, and news coverage of Jeb Bush's 2004 felon purge list exhibiting no ability to even survive the light of public examination as a legitimate instrument of authority, despite Jeb Bush's assurances of the lists integrity, when he was still able to keep the list secret, do not seem like larger
problems to you than the voices of political dissent relating to Bush '43,
what would be the impetus to nudge Bush into holding more press
conferences, or for Jeb to abondon his voter purging policy ?
Bush already has Fox News, Rush, Hannity, and Drudge to cheerlead for him
without any demands that he answer directly to the people, via the press.
Challenging and questioning authority can only strengthen and legitimize it.
Is your pronouncement of a problem causing harm, something that you can document ?
