I am partially sniffing out the depth levels of the perceived intentional smoke-screening by media, (presumably pushed by DC), and wondering what you think of this TPP stuff...

It is difficult to follow the twists and turns in this issue.
The left hates it and the president is a creature of the left - but the president was pushing the deal.
The right generally likes free trade and was instrumental in its passage, but they don't trust the president and were upset about the loss of sovereignty the TPP mandates.
Nobody seems to be following their principles.

Most of the critical attention given to the Fast Track Trade Agreement legislation and to the associated Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Congressional – Executive Agreement on mainstream corporate media and by politicians and establishment interest groups

Well ok maybe not "snuck" but that doesn't mean there wasn't media uproar about the Flag(s) intended to distract the masses.

I never saw any "media uproar".

Again, TPP wasn't snuck by me.
If it got snuck by you, perhaps you aren't using the best news sources.

I confess my overall attention to things as they have been happening the last couple of weeks has taken a downturn due to some life distractions, hence my seeking clarity and opinions...thanks

Standard government play: Pass something that will get people heated (gay marriage or Confederate Flag) and then slip past something that supports their corporate buddies and their own fortunes behind the scenes.
The media is complicit in it as well.
