This article is a bit over a month old, but I think that it is still quite current, and seems relevant to the most current news.

Ethereal had made some comments in another thread that suggest that he may be one of the few who are able to conceive what the deep state even is, but it seems like something we should all be aware of, regardless of which side of the aisle we are on.
The article that I linked specifies the US media as one of the most valuable instruments in the political civil war that is going on, but I would point out that the mentality of the folks who cannot process the article properly without getting sidetracked by partisan thoughts are a valuable instrument as well. The article seems remarkably relevant to today's political landscape.
