> The level of corruption in this administration and this entire government is more than nauseating Let's be fair, it's not just this administration, it's administrations before it as well. How many bombs and rockets did Obama drop and fire?

Have you considered whether the way you feel reading the news is by design?
The thought behind your comment seems to be "Trump is no different than other recent Presidents, just he's treated differently" without saying it in so many words. Is that indeed what you think? Republicans have long complained about the media being mean to right-wing presidents (or, sometimes, remembering Clinton and Carter, to white presidents, where Obama is considered a PC outlier), but this sort of non-defense i…
You’re telling me that baby chicks are arriving dead to farmers across the Midwest. Food and medicines are spoiling from being stored in facilities that are not designed for storage. Old people and vets on VA plans are being forced to wait for their prescriptions sometimes for over 1 week after they are due. All because this critical infrastructure lost $6B last year?!?!

I feel like op established that this type of thing does not usually affect them. Are you suggesting the LA Times has cracked the code to finally reach the psyche of op? Or can we take them on their word that the USPS situation rankles them. Seems silly to suggest that they don’t really care, “but for the media”.
The media has been evolving over the years, it's not a sudden shift. However if you are looking for one, I suggest watching the Shadowgate documentary on youtube (released in the last few days). It's about a specific government program whose aim was exactly to "crack the code to finally reach the psyche of op."
