The End of Political Correctness?

Hallelujah!
"Political correctness isn’t a purely cultural phenomenon, a merely autonomous product of a free market of ideas in an era of enlightenment and progress. It is a multi-billion-dollar industry, funded, promoted, regulated and enforced by government. Without pro-active governments taking on Big Brother roles, political correctness would be an irrelevant factor in the economy and in our lives."
However this is unlikely to happen - especially as OUR Trudeau Government appears curiously concerned about the demise of the private media - accelerated by the State Propaganda Agency. I predict a move to "save" private media with 1) substantial CBC ad revenue and 2) Government "support" under claim of advancing Canadian Culture.

In America a similar kind of "post-truth" reality is dawning and many Red State voters are optimistic that under Trump control of government growth will be undertaken - hopefully beginning with Higher Education.

Finally - in memory of the passing of great Canadian Leonard Cohen. (and a more tuneful rendition)

U.S Election Race Most Bruising and Electric EVER?

Despite being reluctant to encourage hyperbole - I nonetheless suggest this is true.
At least it may be the most amazing U.S Election I have EVER witnessed in my brief lifetime.

The arrival of Donald J Trump into the GOP and sucesful challenge to the traditional party hiearchy.
The unfair battle between Hillary and (crazy commie) Bernie Saunders.
The legitimate questions about Clinton's and Trumps "fittness for office".
The FBI dismissing allegation against Clinton and then re-opening an investigation.
Wikileaks incredible disclosures about the Clinton Campaign actors and the shattering of MSM hegemony.

It has been just incredible to watch and very difficult to withstand.

So with this video of former Democrat stratgist - James Carville - excoriating a MSNBC anchor for what I thought were quite level-headed questions.  Clearly this stand in for Billy Bob Thorton is repeatedly shooting the messenger.
