>>Again, comments about commentators who are commenting on what other commentators said.
>>The Greeks dramatists had their chorus, but the focus of the drama was on the characters and events.

If it's true that news is "content that somebody doesn't want published; the rest is advertising"- then you can be comforted that this is the least fascist government in a very long while, with almost zero MSM complicity or pro-government advertizing/propaganda.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
