One, that I think you would hate because, among so many other things, it specifically nails why corporate media (and you) are so virulently invested in supporting and creating all the anti-Trump conspiracies.
But it is much more than that. Trump is not commended or lauded or made to look good in any way. Greenwald is not in the least pro-Trump. He is an old school journalist who is distinctly and liberally Progressive in his politics.
It is not about Trump. It is strictly about how and why journalism, and journalists, mainly in corporate media, changed beginning in mid 20th century till now from the previous challenger and rigorous investigator and often hater of the country's power centers to being a complicit partner in the power structure's status quo agenda. He remains more uniquely independent outside of the status quo corporate media, and has a desire to find and report the malfeasance on all sides.
On the other hand, you call attention to the mundane and irrelevant sound of a flushing toilet which occurs billions of times daily on planet earth. Which reminds one of the parrot like mimicry of what has broken journalism, and how it sounds when you flush it into the forum.
