Not a single journalist can help, they work for advertising dollars and therefore have sensitive incomes. Over here media have even aligned themselves on a party basis because of the way the money flows. What you should do is leave. Let them starve. What I mean is that the number one cause of poverty is not being able to leave when one need to go.
It's sad that people are tribal rather cerebral. Such stupid mentality is no different to those who say I kill these people following orders from power that be. We all know some powers that be are giving credibility by appeasers/bankrupt talkshops who need their oil, gas and dirty money and whatnots.
Last night, I was catching up with the film, In order of disappearance, in which a man says snow causes welfare states. He says if you are hungry in say, Thailand, you just go and get a banana and problem solved, No welfare states. He might have over-simplified it, but somehow it has a true ring to it.
