It is time to pull your head from the sand. There is absolutely no way you can't see the manipulation of all media. Fox and Newsmax manipulate their stories to the right. Everyone else to the left. If you can honestly watch CNN or MSNBC or read the editorials in most newspapers around the country, including WSJ and NYT and not see a left leaning stance, you are just being willfully blind.
I am not sure saying you know a ton of people that work in the VA says what you think it does. As a vet, I can tell you that the operational maleficence that runs rampant through that organization is very prevalent. An individual can be honest and work hard and still make no impact to the overall operation of the organization. It happens in every industry and company. Again, I work in education, the only impact I have is on the kids I work with. I am told what to teach and how to teach it. I am evaluated on how I follow the teaching techniques and TEKS (basically the how to and what to teach in Texas). As I wrote, it is the same in any organization, especially government organizations. Most people work in the government sector because they can retire after 20 years and basically have residual income for the rest of their lives. Then at a relatively young age, 45-50, can transition into another career or job. Most are there to do their job, do what they are told to do and move on when they can.
