charge and that in a nation of almost universally uninformed "swing voters" corporate media is basically calling the tune?

Combine this with the fact that Fraud-o-Matic voting machines require no more than a compelling, half-way believable narrative to confer legitimacy on almost any election result and we have a "democracy" that is, at best, hanging by the barest of a thread.
