However, the real issue is not so much right-left to me, though it is a part...

The real issue is money and its corrosive effect on all of it. Enough cash is thrown around on advertising and on contracts for these panel show "experts" to opine about nothing of any real import, that were it repurposed, we could retire the national debt, fund Social Security for another decade plus and reduce our planetary ecological disaster by 50%!!! (*numbers are fact checked the exact same way as network opinion pieces - not at all!!!).
