Media defends secret impeachment, with motto:"Democracy dies in sunlight and transparency"
Oct 14 2019 | rintintin

"democracy dies in darkness" is what the Washington Post had been telling subscribers.

But now that Schiff is conducting secret Star Chamber impeachment hearings, the media has done about face. They're no longer interested in freedom of information and transparency.

"Democracy dies in transparency" is the new mainstream media motto. "Keep those doors closed! DON'T let the sun shine in!"

“Don’t let us know the facts! Keep the information under lock and key - we’re journalists, after all, what do we care about freedom of information?”

“[T]he first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the level of ruling class to win the battle of democracy.”

— Communist Manifesto, chapter 2

“What will be the course of this revolution? Above all, it will establish a democratic constitution, and through this, the direct or indirect dominance of the proletariat. […] Democracy would be wholly valueless to the proletariat if it were not immediately used as a means for putting through measures directed against private property and ensuring the livelihood of the proletariat.”

— The Principles of Communism

“[I]t is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals.”

— Woodrow Wilson, “Socialism and Democracy”
Of course democracy, i.e. socialism, would die in the sunlight, just like the vampire it is.

And they call that journalism and freedom of the press.

They are all a bunch or sycophants genuflecting to their state masters; bunch or puppets copying what they are told to write.

I do not want to hear it about their so called Trump attack on press freedoms. The Obama Hypocrite idiots are back out

Mainstream media in America is not about journalism. They are unpaid publicists for the Democratic Party.

Apparently the 6th amendment is unimportant.

Maybe they’ll do a double secret impeachment if Trump gets mad.

Some other socialist would have taken his place.

If someone’s going to bother taking a time-travel trip, it should be to bring Wilson into the future (from his perspective) and show him the desolation his ideology causes to try to wake him up. Then next stop ought to be to meet the Founding Fathers, explain to them what Wilson believes, and let them deal with him.
