This administration has invented a new strategy of news control
In the past, a large scandal would be covered by the media for a much longer time than now. Now, a scandal breaks, gets some attention in the news, and then is dropped...FOR ANOTHER SCANDAL! It's amazing that this works, but it does-people forget about past scandals because there's a new one, but there's so many of them they become white noise, and none of them are ever followed up on purportedly because of new news breaking.

1. It has been one
scandal after another the entire time they have been in office. Hell, they got there by scandal. It is driving me batty. We have a lot of work to do so that people who do not pay attention get accustomed again to how government is supposed to work.

2. But what's so bizarre is: they fix the scandals by having other scandals!
So the scandal comes out, and attention is finally turned from it WITH ANOTHER SCANDAL!
It all becomes so tiring for the average person that they can't care anymore, and we get freepers that just refuse to hear anything when it is explained patiently to them what is going on.
