So the American political system is rigged, a cruel joke, a fraud. And so is the media system, supposedly the watchdog of dirty politics and foundation of democracy via incorruptible reporting of reality.
The proof that is so is everywhere. I'm certain that if Americans really had choices in politics, if a true party endorsing democratic principles existed, an entity capable of intelligent and brave leadership and mobilizations, or media transmitting reliable information (both mutually necessary for their existence), they would not be pulling their hair in frustration and desperation at the sorry spectacle of a government "shutting down," or cities falling, like a mere household, into "bankruptcy", or having to constantly reign in highly-placed warmongers of all stripes. Such ludicrous absurdities would never occur in a nation truly controlled and directed by the people.
In sum, the reigning corporate circles, the "corpocracy" --let's call them technically for what they are, the American/global bourgeoisie--despite some erosion, continue to control outcomes in the United States by constantly manipulating the consciousness of the public: reinforcing standing myths here, injecting new lies there, creating (with impunity) false flag events, and always suppressing vital information. It's a nonstop job, and the toxic corporate media, enormous in its reach and ubiquity always oblige because, after all, they are owned by the cabal they shill for.

APPENDIX
CBS This Morning (10.2.13)
Not content with trotting out Condi Rice, CBS producers also deploys as some sort of impartial expert (although clearly labeling him as a "Republican strategist), Frank Luntz, the kind of public relations manipulator whose toxic expertise has contributed greatly to the disinformation and confusion epidemic afflicting the American mind. Luntz, a parasite by any standard, is shameless, but see for yourselves, and thank CBS and their ilk for his continued success on the American scene. Note, here, that perhaps in an effort to burnish their own credibility, the CBS brass allows a semi-truth, "that the two parties do not respect each other or the American people."
Americans' fiery reactions to gov't shutdown
CBS News analyst and Republican strategist Frank Luntz sat down with a group of Democrats and Republicans for their viewpoint on the government shutdown. Both sides agree that the two parties do not respect each other or the American people.
