Whenever the media loses control over a powerful term, be it “fake news” or “deep state,” they react with infantile rage, and immediately demand cessation of the term in its “unapproved” use. As part of that process, they attempt to restrict its historical application to some definition that delimits its use against their ideological interest. Their attempt to rescript the meaning of words gives new meaning to Orwellian for the media’s would-be Ministry of Information.
Maybe CNN will set up a lexicon where we can go and see which words we are allowed to use to ascribe their own activities, much as Chris Cuomo insinuated it was illegal for anyone to look at Wikileaks information, except exclusively at CNN. What this all really covers up in this context is that the media has long been an enabler of the deep state against the democratic demands of the public. No, CNN, the idea of the deep state didn’t start in Turkey, and no, New York Times, pretending the deep state doesn’t exist doesn’t clothe the naked emperor.

If government is too big for the president to control leaks of information, the government needs to be greatly reduced.
Meanwhile Grassly just delayed the vote on the assistant AG because he refused to commit to a special prosecutor for the Trump-Russia BS thereby keeping the Obama holdover in charge. GOPe at it’s finest.
Thanks again for recusing Sessions.
Have you seen the President's recent Executive Order regarding the Executive Branch? He's going to trim and trim and trim.
The media think they still have the power to do this. They are so cute, and so last year.
