I agree. I also feel that the press has evolved into a state that plays into this strategy by giving equal time to positions that have unequal factual basis, and by tolerating strong bias in reporting and analysis. I don't think many journalists have much independence anymore.

I don't really watch traditional news anymore for this reason. I sense that news is evolving, however, and I don't think that this strategy will remain as efficient for long.
