In the liberal mind, the liberal media is at the level of the Church.
Seriously, these airheaded newscasters and TV personalities honestly think they are the moral authorities for the US, and most average liberals accept them as such. Of course, they are being used by the smarter, more ideological people, but they’re too dumb to know it and their followers are too star-struck to care.
True. Which is why we shuold have an equally high and robustly enforced 'wall of separation' between media and state. The media now wields the influence that once only the Church commanded, and a non-independent media is a dagger aimed at the heart of democracy.
