All of us are deluged by media pundits touting their perceptions and analysis about controversial issues and events, the vast majority proclaiming failure and defeat, occasionally a success, in our foreign affairs and domestic politics.
They usually get it wrong.
The reason: pundits are like pedestrians at the sea shore, making judgments about the great oceans based on the waves they observe crashing against the shore.
What pundits really see and comment upon is the daily news as it is reported by the MSM, and that means they're not getting the big picture - just a glimpse of what's happening down at the water's edge.
