You remind me that as one rethug criticizes House rethugs for thinking this is a game, the same goes for media.

They've both put in a lot of time, money, and drama to keep Americans from seeing how simple the game is.

It's a game because both are paid game pieces run on a game board run by their owners.
Until media face that fact in their own house — then inform the public of the names and activities of their anti-democracy owners -- media monopolists will run these boards for the corporate governance of this country.

Corporate media's three goals are the same in media and People's House: profit, groom minds through perception management, and inject the human landscape with "breaking" adrenaline. It's the old corporate fascist playbook to get and keep control of humans as money/energy sources.

Long as corporate media exist there's no such thing as conservative or liberal media.
There's 'fact-based, contextualized information' media and there's 'perception/fear management' media. One is the fourth estate. One is corporate.

So rethugs and media will keep running their owners’ game, Americans will keep fighting their good fight to run government by informed consent, against corporate manufactured consent.
