we need regime change IN THE MSM.

[longtermmemmory]

we just have to educate people about the media.

the Romans eventually dealt with a rogue's gallery of charismatic tribal enemies -- Spartacus, Vercingetorix, Jugurtha, Mithridates, Boudica, and others -- all of whom claimed victory over the Romans and invulnerability from their global reach, only to be eventually defeated, forced to kill themselves, executed, or killed in battle.
