People complain of the cultural turmoil and upset in the country without realizing that the mainstream media - which nowadays includes almost all broadcast media as well as the digital giants Facebook, Google, and Twitter, and others - are the main determinants of the mood and cultural milieu of the United States.
At this point it is inescapable that unless the mainstream media are happy, we cannot, as a society, be happy.
Media groupthink, constantly groomed and tended by a compliant social media: those who stray from the paradigm are, through dint of social and administrative forces, excluded or removed.
Fear and cowering from Republican/conservative politicians secondary to decades of nearly wholly effective intimidation and, effectively, domination by the mainstream media.
While favored Democrats run afoul of decency and the law with impunity, the media demand that Republicans respond to perceived impropriety by resigning, apologizing, and, if the media hit the jackpot, testifying to a special counsel.
The growing fear, even terror of the media felt by non-liberal politicians while those aligned with the progressive media, which cultivates and sustains them, are growing in audacity and fearlessness;.
Barring such an aberration, it's difficult to imagine how a visionary who's out of step with leftists could survive the combination of the media's machinations and social media crucifixions.
