A lot of people think there’s a real problem with Political Filtration (PF). PF is the way political discourse is filtered through differing layers of what’s called “Vetting”. Vetting is when you make a careful, critical examination or investigation of somebody to thoroughly ensure they’re suitable to speak with a politician so as to NOT cause embarrassment to the politician by speaking in opposition to the politician’s stance. It sucks the air out a conversation when a politician is “hoist with his own petard” or is injured by the device he intended to use to injure others.
