? Because we are targeting the wrong audience. As I have already pointed out, it the masses that the politicians fear. They are the ones who have the actual power to get rid of the "leaders". And the masses don't read mainstream newspapers. After a gruelling 16 hours of manual labour, if they watch television at all, it is limited to the occasional movie or soap opera not the news and talk shows. So while the pundits and experts pontificate in their rarefied environment, they are not communicating with the people who matter; the people who can make a difference. Until that happens, mediocrity, mendacity and corruption will continue to rule the roost. In the final analysis, we get the government we deserve.
