when did the media become a part of the American government structure to be able to impact such pivotal decisions by the executive branch, and is this something that can be tolerated during a time of war?

I've been shrieking about this for some time now, to no observable effect of course. The media has decided that America has no right to fight, much less win, wars. They also decided that Republicans have no right to be in power in any branch of government.

The media has been pretty successful so far and most here realize what a serious problem that is for out very survival as a nation. The media told Kerry that their support was worth at least 15 points in the polls. He was just so awful he lost anyway, but they were right. We have a BIG problem with our 5th column and I don't know what to do about it.

Me either.

A TRULY conservative national news channel would be a start.

I agree. But I think the real problem is that so many Americans think they are informed because they read newspapers and news magazines, and follow events on tv. So many were educated by the Liberal establishment of educators that few even question what they get from the media.
We need more educated Americans. At least some who have been exposed to both sides of the political spectrum.

Until we get Americans who are educated instead of indoctrinated with Leftist ideas, I don't know how we can continue to prosper.

It's like watching a train wreck in the process of happening and there is not a damn thing we can do to stop it

We were starting to have an edge and a handle on dealing with this problem .. but after the November elections that edge is gone

Re-instate the sedition act for one thing. Arrest and shoot those "giving aid and comfort to the enemy", for another.Put on public trial and execute those who commit treason by releasing top secret information in time of war. Just a few ideas that enabled us to perservere and, eventually, win WW2.
