It's buried in my own verbiage, but this is the thrust of my reply.
If you rely, for your mental picture of what is ... important and what can be dismissed, on the same institutions that suppress true stories and promote false ones, then how even are you making these choices?
At the risk of distracting you from answering that question, I'll answer yours: partisan feuding is destroying the US, so I absolutely put country before party. Moreover, I actively seek out, listen to and even respect people with whom I disagree. Corruption is corruption, whether it's "my guy" or "their guy".
You answered my question here[1] with Take in the information as a whole and sift out one's best guess. That's all anyone can do.
With respect, that's not all anyone can do, and it's not nearly enough. My answer[2] isn't perfect, but in order not to be influenced by partisan lies in a mediascape that is actively hostile to truth, one must be more active than that.
From my observations Trump (and his admin) were corrupt as can be. Small case in point: Jared Kushner's business dealings where he's gotten huge amounts of money whilst ostensibly serving as a government employee.
I could dig up citations if you demonstrated its veracity if you would take the time to review them.
Let's grant everything you state here about Trump and Kushner to be true. I'm not arguing against that. Yes, it's all bad. All of it. No citations necessary. I believe you.
I really want to know this: Given that your news sources have demonstrably lied to you, how are you making the determination that some things are not important and other things are important. How are you deciding that?
For instance, that the FBI may have influenced the election is not important information, but that Jared Kushner's business dealings are important.
The FBI reporting on Hillary's emails only served to damage her campaign. What she did was wrong but less wrong than Trump. Note that the Trump administration actively communicated in side channels to avoid scrutiny. And the recent news about stolen classified information
What do you want out the email controversy? That she be disqualified and/or imprisoned? And knowing what you know now about Trump, would you apply the same metrics?
It's not whataboutism here -- it's the selective outrage that I take issue with.
