Here, Madison writes that public opinion sets the bounds to free government. By this, public opinion is the sovereign. That's a problem when the public opinion is so largely uninformed.

To go on from Madison, it is also true when public opinion is so blatantly ignored, the country is no longer free.

Yes, and “Only when deceived by government did the people risk the loss of liberty.”
As is well known at FR, media = rat party. Both are appendages of government. The pubbies are willing bystanders.
