    How would past wrongdoings matter? Or even future, his actions are his alone. After he got into office I was deeply disappointed in how he handled matters. Often when Obama is criticized there comes: What about Bush? What about Trump? How does that matter? What about looking at the facts instead.

    They'll remove all the channels they disagree with. And then blame it on the algorithm.

    I seriously believe that his charm and charisma is a huge factor, his administration was one of the most aggressive against whistleblowers and journalists, if not the most. He ran on a platform of change and peace, but he ended up just keeping the war machine going.

    Dude, Obama increased what Bush had started. He also ran on a platform to protect whistleblowers, then did a 180 when elected and when the hardest after whistleblowers. He also stood behind droning innocent children in Pakistan.

    I totally agree, it was a nice article but seriously, I shouldn't seek out facts? What the hell. Also, it relied on trusting media outlets to tell the truth. All media have agendas, all lean right, left or centrist and also some that have a high reputation - say the Washington Post - have been mouthpieces for the CIA for years. A lot of what we hear from the traditional media is controlled and shaped, so how did we know what the real truth of the matter is? I honestly think we can't anymore, it is a war of information and the battlefield is made confusing by purpose.

    I've been listening to Vulfpeck's last album Mr Finish Line, it's a fantastic album. Also Run the Jewels, their latest album has some great songs, I really enjoy Kill your masters.

    I'd say, Steve Lukather. Although he started out in the seventies he is still to this day one of the most accomplished guitarists. My favorite album of Toto is Tambu, which came out in 1994 or 95, and it has some amazing guitar work.
