re: A 'Pattern'...of 'crises'?

They are using crisis to divert attention from crisis. By having one "crisis" after another. Our media (even those who aren't in the tank for them) doesn't have a long enough attention span to investigate a single issue long enough before getting distracted by the next one. Because no one is investigating long enough, by the time any evidence of malfeasance or corruption surfaces, the public attention is 2 or 3 scandals down the road. It makes it nearly impossible for investigative journalists to capture the attention of the American people long enough to make any accusations that will stick.

It's crazy like a fox.
