I was struck by the thought that, for all our talk about the "corporate media", the sole purpose of the show seems to be to "break the system."
They spent the whole part of the show, riling against HRC, propping up Sanders, and alternating between, riling against, then propping up, trump ... when they weren't calling for a 3rd party candidate to throw more gasoline on the fire.
It was like watching a panel of nihilistic Eeyores whose faces only light up when they contemplate the trains approaching the approaching, sorely neglected, rickety wooden bridge.
There may be a "corporate media" out there; but, I can't see how they would actually WANT what they are promoting ... Or, perhaps, they have adopted the American business model: actively destroy the enterprise, while sucking out as much revenue as possible, without a thought of what comes next. In this case, their method of sucking up revenue is playing to the eyeballs of all the people that want to/think it's best to destroy the American enterprise ... who, also, haven't thought about, or have fantasies about what comes next (whether that fantasy is an egalitarian utopia, or dystopic strongman government).
My fear is that this broken system will bring real pain ... and I'm not talking about "not being able to get paid what you want" pain; but, "foraging for food/survival of the nastiest" pain.
Well ... That's my happy thought for the day.
