As I've tried to explain before, the Electoral College and Glass-Steagall, Smoot-Hawly, Bartles and Jaymes are not related and should not be used as comparative fodder. Debating the merits of Electoral College is what I'm after.
But the electoral college is not the subject of this thread.
I would figure you'd know this if you read my original post. Why would you be the first to comment on a topic that you admit is not what you want to talk about?
Perhaps you should start a thread about the electoral college. Is that too much of a stretch?
And I agree, media is a fucking sham, it's literally become yellow press governed by the bottom dollar. And it's a fucking shame. Just as politics has been a bottom dollar business for eons. It needs to stop.
And electing Republicans into office will most assuredly not help us with that cause, as they were the ones who passed Citizens United. And we are already seeing the absolute fleecing the Trump presidency is bringing to the American people.
That started off so good and then went straight into financial campaign contribution legislation and political parties.

As I said, and you seem to agree to, it's hard to talk about news and not bring politics into it.
I even laid the one of the major causes of my OP directly at the feet of a republican president for interference with the Fairness Doctrine formally adopted as an FCC rule in 1949 and repealed in 1987 by Ronald Reagan’s pro-broadcaster FCC.

Any political party can do extreme damage if the news won't warn us about it and that much informational control should never be in so few hands as it's been proven to both of us that it is not impartial.

If we worried about reinstating repealed legislation as well as repealing legislation it might do us both good. :D

At :31 seconds that "dog" hits the man in the padded suit like a train. The dogs of the region are very tough but so are the men. No way I am doing a padded suit with a Caucasian herding dog.
I am not afraid of big dogs but these breed is terrifying if one of those dogs is after you.
They were mainly for protecting flocks from wolves and bears (I don't know if Russia has native big cats).

Don't mess w/ LGD's.

Not really. I do like the women of that region (she is from Caucus area more than Russia):

Women of the DNC

I have a special place in my heart for young slavic women, right next to European (Middle Eastern, Asian, South American, etc.)
Is that last pic Lena Duh-am? I thought she was in rehab in AZ. ;)

sadly, no woman has any place in their heart for you, ever. whispering sweet nothings about 9/11 Tr00f!!!! while spooning never was any woman's dream after all.

I have to admit I owe it to the Ignored Member(s) for their ignored content as it keeps this thread near the top so it can be viewed by more people.
It's so gracious of them to help this thread get "touched" by so many. I suppose it's some sort of vicarious living situation as what they wish for, they do for the thread. ;)

the only chance flaming pie has at keeping her medicaid and food stamps now is liberal resistance to the trump-ryan alliance to kill the social safety net.

i kinda wanna watch them take it all away from rubes like pie and watch them suffer now. they deserve it.

the day republicans privatize social security, turn medicaid into a voucher, and kick hungry americans off of food stamps is the day we win the 2020 election and get to gerrymander the map in our favor, thereby retaining control of the house for at least a decade.
