use of the 'divide' viewed through the lense of TV media figures, political operatives and strategists. Lots of Bannon but no Grover Norquist, Karl Rove or think tank shapers like the Kochs and Mercers that I saw. And missing are earlier years of influence by Glen Beck types or Bill Moyers for that matter.

In Part 2, be prepared for more Meghan Kelly, Breitbart and Both Sides. No mention of consolidated MSM.

I would like to have seen fewer pundits and paid operatives and more of the public, activists and indy writers.
