OT: I am way more optimistic. No matter what one thinks of either Obama or Trump both have done a great service to this country. In their own ways they have highlighted the hypocricy and the danger of establishment politicians no matter the party. I think we will continue to see more and more non-politicians running for office and that is a good thing. They have also each done a good job of showing people that government is not the solution to most problems. There is value in that.

You will also be far happier and better informed if you simply do not watch any TV. Turn it off and leave it off. Same with national newspapers, they are all garbage. Local tv news and local papers are still mostly ok.

All one needs to do with media is watch the first 10 minutes of GMA for the lunacy of the left and then read the Breitbart or Drudge headlines for the lunacy of the right. I'm not saying the middle is the place to be as there is a correct solution to every problem and with compromise and negotiation one usually ends up with the worst of both worlds.

I also love that Trump uses Twitter. Without that, the national media would be able to completely shape all our thinking and that is wrong. Whether Obama or Trump or the next pres, it is wonderful to hear directly from them.
