You know, this whole "media" thing is amazing. Our founding fathers expected them to challenge the ruling elite.

over time, we end up with the media pandering to the ruling elite, in certain circumstances mind you, bush v. obama.

so by all appearances, they want to be the tellers, not the spellers. Even so much so, that we have choreographed and constructed media events.

And so amazing, that one person, swims against the tide and everyone loses their mind.

that is damn scary that we have to rely upon one or two (cruz too) courageous souls to save our country.

leads to introspection: what the hell am I doing ?

GK Chesterton observed this phenomenon 100 years ago, when he wrote that we no longer need to fear censorship of the press, but rather fear censorship by the press. That an institution who existed to tell the truth has largely become an institution that exists to cover up the truth.
