Let’s not forget, as I always point out, the media is the true villain.
Imagine if the media was honest, fair and did their job? Imagine if there was still such a thing as investigative journalism??
The media, in all forms, is the true enemy of America.
You make a good point but mass media wasn’t around in Roman times. Other factors contributed to the decline of the empire and we see many of the same ones now. Just saying.
