If you think we have a “Free Press”, look who owns the Press.
It’s a good thing we live in a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC!
We now have the internet.
So, the real issue comes down to this: "If we don't have "freedom of speech," we don't have a "democracy."
By that reasoning, we still have a "democracy" albeit a fragile one.
That said, there are other ways to kill a "democracy." One is a collapse of the institutions that the "democracy" depends on, like the DOJ, the FBI, and the military (which has gone Woke).
The same people who own our politicians. Blackrock, WEF, China, satanic orgs everywhere…..
“It’s a good thing we live in a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC!”
Do we really, though? Do you feel represented? I haven’t for decades. It looks to me like we’ve been fundamentally transformed into a Marxist Mobocracy...with a scant few moments of sanity sprinkled in on occasion.

We get to elect people who go on to represent the DC establishment.
Something between being a mobocracy and kleptocracy, whatever that is.
There is also no democracy with stolen elections.
we don’t have a “democracy.”

But we do have lots of bureaucracy.
play it again Sam ....
When we use the words of the left we are already yielding to them.
Part of the problem is big cities carry to much weight ... we
could use a a little more “republic” and a little less “democracy”
Especially within the states.
I don’t trust anybody who refers to the type of government we’re supposed to have as a “democracy.”
There is very little of what most of us once believed to be a “free press”. There is now only a horde of propagandist whores who pretend to be news reporters/”journalists”, and a censorship apparatus that would have made Stalin envious.
“Sometimes, we’d put something out, and it seemed clearly newsworthy, but everybody would react to it the same way, they would respond to it in the same language on Twitter, and I have no idea how that happens. It’s a mystery to me.”
Taibbi never heard of the Journ-o-list? Or is he silly enough to think they didn’t replace it with another equivalent once they were caught?
If ever, there was a Civil War here in our country, those left wing mediapukes would be the VERY FIRST heads to be chopped off. I HATE THEM!!
Well, Taibbi is a leftie, just one who still seems to have at least a shred of integrity left.

There is no democracy without the complete BOR.
Democrats are fine with the free press so long as it serves their interests.
