“In contract theory and economics, information asymmetry deals with the study of decisions in transactions where one party has more or better information than the other. This asymmetry creates an imbalance of power in transactions.”
The job of the media is not to disseminate the news but to protect the information asymmetry of the ruling elite. What you are to be told is important. What you are not to be told is even more important.
Virtue signaling is a smokescreen for pure, cynical power grabbing.

Hollywood has conditioned us to believe that if there’s a bad guy in the story the other must be a good guy. But often real world conflicts are contests between bad guys. It’s an Alien vs Predator world.

I like the scene where Charlton Heston rides up the beach and reads the inscription on the ruined Statue of Liberty and shouts “Epstein didn’t kill himself. Epstein didn’t kill himself.”
Not just Lincoln Steffens. Even ordinary conservatives used ro believe they were fighting a rear guard action against Progress. Suddenly the vision of the 20th century catastrophically collapsed but what is it we see?
The progressive future, like a Hillary candidacy, is more impressive in the buildup than the arrival.
Polls show Hillary beating Trump without even trying. It’s fascinating to consider whether she’s a bigger threat to Trump or the Democratic left, like one of those armored giants from the dawn of time released from an icy prison to menace the puny endeavors of men.
Mark Zuckerberg “should pay a price” for what he is doing to democracy, Hillary Clinton has said, as she expressed doubts about whether free and fair elections were even possible in the wake of Facebook’s decision to not factcheck political advertising.
Who might that Democratic candidate capable of winning in the EC be?
