H, this post is so excellently put. I argue there are two types of reportage. There is the veneer of impartiality that Walter Cronkite so embodied in the USian mindset (and even he editorialized in a way that changed public opinion during watergate) and there is reportage in the vein of Orwell - which is there to present a view.

Speaking about power is a calling, and it's an incredibly important one. And all those explainers over the years were (and are) valuable tools in laying the groundwork for this next stage of your commentary. You've shown us how the system is SUPPOSED to work. Now you can share the reality. And the disconnect is where the call to real action comes from.

You're inspiring dude. Keep it up.
