Love these lines from the article Roger posted above: "The camera records people and events, but it can’t tell us who is lying, or who is being truthful. It can’t expose the contradictions for us.
Instead, the camera goes to the loudest blowhard, not the smartest or most judicious individual. Our very media, our method of discourse, appears to encourage and reward extreme behavior."

And, when I posted earlier about thinking of the Manchurian Candidate often over the past decade, my worries have not been about a Russian influence behind our politics, but about a more serious threat from outside sources that have plagued mankind for thousands of years.
