   Whatever; "the media" are a significant force.  Whine about 'em all   
   you want; however: "Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by   
   the barrel!"  One person's "fake news" is another's truth!  It's less   
   about what's true than what people generally believe to be true.   
      
   Let's wait and see how the mid-terms shake out.  The truth is that   
   we'd like to take the house; we care as little about *how* that   
   happens as you care about how to keep it from happening.  "Fake news"   
   is fine with me if the cattle believe it.  Our task is to do a better   
   job of convincing the cattle than you do.
