fifth column
/ˈˌfi(f)TH ˈkäləm/
noun
"a group within a country at war who are sympathetic to or working for its enemies."

Sure sounds like the media/press/Resistance Movement.....

At the time “The Fourth Estate” was coined in England, it was meant that the press was to put a check on the other three, and not let any of them get away with crimes or transgressing the laws, by reporting on them.

That is why I’ve said for a long time that they are now the “Fifth Column.” (I’ve had my tag line for a couple of years.)
