But again, if Trump is a symptom of a larger problem (and I believe he is), then you have to look beyond Trump to begin to understand the and hopefully solve them. Our media is just 1 part of that and they haven't done themselves any favors over the last 3+ years.

You misunderstand. You assume that people are rational, that they take in information, process it, and then come up with an opinion. You assume they want "good" news so they can make "good" opinions. My dude, you got it completely backwards: People have opinions and they seek sources that validate their opinions. The media is simply an industry and the only agenda they have is to make profits for their shareholders. The media is only as much a part of the problem as the incentives the that guide it.

Cop told to ‘tone down gayness’ for promotion is awarded $20 million

A veteran St. Louis cop who was told to tone down his “gayness” to get a promotion has been awarded almost $20 million, according to a report.

Sgt. Keith Wildhaber said he was passed over 23 times for a promotion at the St. Louis County Police Department and then punished with a transfer when he complained, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said.

I kinda want a pink 1960 cadillac

Nobody really wants to solve any problems. We just want to complain. It's what gets us up every morning. But I know you already know that.

There are levels to irrationality. A MLB umpire threatening civil war over impeachment is beyond irrational, that's radicalized behavior.
As I've already said, and you've echoed in this post, the media is only 1 part of it. I'm not pretending we can cure cognitive dissonance, but If you remove bias and dishonest reporting (to the degree which its feasible to do so) and maintain that over a long period of time (lets shoot for forever), then you're fixing that part of the problem.
 
Just had a super close call.

Got a bit of an urgent nature's call and dashed to the throne. Was about to drop trou and realized I had grabbed my wallet instead of my phone.

Can you imagine having to leaf through your wallet for reading material? What is this, 2005? I'm not asking you to pray for me, but it couldn't hurt.

It’s all fun and games around here until real life rears it’s ugly head. Be well buddy.

Ha, I coincidentally left my phone at home today. Took a dump and it was like protected sex: not terrible, but you're just constantly thinking about how much better it could be with one minor changed detail.

I don’t know that I agree, for example I solve a lot of problems on this website.
 
I drove to St Louis today, it sucked, that is all.
