The volume of reporting on how our political discourse is descending into hysteria won’t be lessened anytime soon…because the 800-lb villain in the room isn’t going to let it.

That 800-lb villain – the mainstream media – FEEDS off this hysteria and chaos.

And as long as they give oxygen and voice to haters, instead of those with REAL ideas, the violent rhetoric, chaotic rioting, and personal assaults will continue…unabated.

The 800-lb villain has adopted a new logic – MAKE it bleed, so it can lead.

Calls for ‘civility’ – with that malevolent intent at play – are futile.
