What we have by now is truly a separate social class with its own mores and class interests, exercising an illegitimate political influence. That illegitimacy inevitably causes resentment eventually, and appears to have done so after quite a time in the public eye. The celebrity and the feeling of empowerment are, however, incredibly seductive and not only rewarding to the self-absorbed but tend to attract that sort of personality into the business, a nasty little feedback loop that has resulted in the gaggle of ego monsters who now flatter themselves that they're running the country.
What is happening now through alternative media - the one we're using here on FR - is that the power is far more widely distributed and hence diluted, and the power holders are no more moving with the times than the dinosaurs in the La Brea tar pits did (witness the hilarious concentration of venom toward a cartoon frog to see just how out of touch they really are). They're clutching desperately and obviously at the power they feel slipping away. Their long-suffering audience seems particularly unsympathetic and is about to elect a fellow who was able to point it all out and still prevail. And the anger and resistance to him is that of spoiled children who like their little game just as it is, thank you very much, and don't want it taken away.
Yes, exactly correct.
The “media” is being decimated by the millions of new journo reporters armed with a smart phone and Twitter, Imgur, Snapchat, YouTube accounts.
Case in point the Hillary 9/11 collapse which circled the globe in minutes after it happened, with no enemdia filters and propaganda.
I just saw this earlier today, no mainstream media is touching it.

The “deplorables” are at it again.
