What caused Sanders' strong success on "Western Saturday?"

So let me get this straight. You decry the US government as in the pocket of corporations...and you want to empower this "Northern Korean-esque" totalitarian government with the power to silence media organizations and determine what is and what is not political bias or a "lie". And this rationally and logically follows for you...lol.

It does. And I would assume it does to most people. If CNN or Fox tells you the Holocaust didn't happen or that 9/11 is a hoax and the Twin Towers are elaborately hidden with an invisibility cloak, hovering above the atmosphere with the aid of anti-gravity device, I think it's a good idea to have an agency to tell them to show some evidence or cut it out.

Similarly if one candidate is overly represented and they're sharing "facts" that are objectively false, that agency should also be able to tell them to have fair and balanced representation and stick to the facts. I know it's a strange concept after watching your so called media, but news is not a soap-opera and the truth is not something you can arrange whatever way you like.

And I don't share your disgust for the government. The key is to elect people who are not being bribed and it'll mostly work out for the better. But yes, it does the preconditions is a functioning democracy with democratically engaged citizens so I could see why you'd think it wouldn't work....

I'm a bigot for calling a spade a spade? I genuinely think your analysis is ignorant at best, laughable at worst, and is pure condscending ego stroking nonsense.

I'm not even going to comment on that. Again, that's your problem not mine. I've got nothing against Americans.
