I agree. The troubling thing is there are people who fit the description, but they are not "newsworthy" Today only tv game show clowns or people who are telegenic and make outrageous and stupid statements (the dumber the better) get any media attention. A smart and moderate politician doesn't get notice at all.

Your observation ties in with a newsletter I just read, about how TrumpтАЩs slate of endorsements are all personalities he knows from TV. This current situation reminds me of the old Peter Sellers satire movie тАЬBeing ThereтАЭ. Time to rewatch it!
