Can you see how someone with a skeptical and rejectionist view, can be as critical of it as some of us here are? What is it? Why do you defend this pathetic maipulation that results in a "self controlling" society making such absurd election choices, with so little REAL media coverage, or individual discussion of the issues that matter?
Can you consider that the repression is a psy-ops affair, one that only concentration of wealth and power, of the level we in the US "enjoy", can pull off? Are we hobbled by. or blessed with a media extravaganza that reliably makes one side look ridiculous to ensure that there is no actual examination of the "manly men" endorsed and promoted by that same media?
Can you consider that the whole "schtick" about "liberal media bias" is a smokescreen? Who does the media make out as ridiculous and "girly"? Who does it anoint with a swagger...a "leadership" image?
Reagan and George W. Bush are the most telling products of these psy-ops, and they are also the evidence of how fragile and shallow, what you and so many others so stalwartly defend really is....a political-economic system that is ridiculous!

This is one of your best laid out responses. I don't agree with most of your general conclusions regarding inequality, media bias and elitism, but I do agree with the notion of the preservation and possible manipulation of the status quo.
Perhaps to better understand your position, how would you suggest correcting problem? What needs to change?
