As we learn to bear the intimacy of scrutiny and to flourish within it, as we learn to use the products of that scrutiny for power within our living, those fears which rule our lives and form our silences begin to lose their control over us.

#ThisAmericanOpera – Tulsi Gabbard
What are the chances CNN or MSNBC would present this exchange in context?
Kristina Lutz-Jacobi here with a question. What are the chances that CNN or MSNBC or BBC World or PBS or CBS or ABC would have presented this exchange between Tulsi Gabbard and Senator Jerry Moran — Republican of Kansas — in its full context? What are the chances that any of the aforementioned legacy media platforms would have presented Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation in a manner that did not reinforce the existing stereotypes that solidified in the past two years?
Kudos to The Economic Times – a publication based in India – for offering a perspective on U.S. politics that runs counter to the operatic nature of the American media culture.

People try to get away from it all—to the country, to the beach, to the mountains. You always wish that you could too. Which is idiotic: you can get away from it anytime you like. By going within. Nowhere you can go is more peaceful—more free of interruptions—than your own soul.
~ Marcus Aurelius
