Sick? I'd say we are nauseated, disgusted, offended, provoked, appalled, tormented, agonized, and way too aggravated.
I'd add, the Dems with their allies in the MSM don't seem to mind at all how their biased news is not only tearing families apart, but dumbing down educational standards, our courts, rule of law -- and has been doing so since... 70s, by my watch. Dems/MSM create a hostile teaching environment throughout the US colleges campuses for divergent political views-- and how? Some people are still adhering to same old "Kronkite" image that the US news WOULDN'T lie. Of course the devoted "news" believers, refused to acknowledge that there is real life, real expertise outside the newsrooms.
Long, long ago, I was getting the Economist and South African News JUST to get a balanced scorecard on the US news. It opened my eyes. So, the MSM can just blame "outside" sources for my eyes being opened. Europeans, for all I might disagree with their policies? Still -- their students are far better prepared to discuss all manner of diverse politics. The MSM has only ONE VIEW presented a million ways -- BUT, ONLY, VIEW. There are some MSMs who have opened the floor and door to "news diversity", a bit, and it's about time.
MSMers seem mired in the idea that only liberals and Dems "talk" to other countries and outside sources. And when it became clear, especially, that the internet was a valuable tool being used by everyday citizens to research, learn more -- THE DEMOCRATS PROPOSED TO TAX THE INTERNET. And they still do.
Addendum: Therefore, I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE FREEREPUBLIC!!! It's more than simply appreciate.. I'm grateful. There are posters from all over the world who post and get "posted" in FR. I no longer have to seek out "foreign sources" JUST in order to get a more comprehensive picture on the US; but I can now get it - focused. In past I had to weed out foreign commentary -- as their articles were written with focus upon their own countries (to their own country's benefit), with news on US being primarily, peripheral. Now I can get the news from within my own country, about my own country -- and with so many views, I get to become... news-educated. And by my own fellow countrymen.
That is an excellent point. They really have done terrible damage to so many things.
