A point that F. A. Hayek makes in much of his writing: to the extent a society tries to pursue the goal of “social justice” is the extent to which there is NO equality before the law — the law will be applied differently to different groups of people depending on what “prior injustice” they claim to have suffered.

Prager might also have mentioned this point: mainstream media is dying. Its only hope of staying alive in its present form is to become the official “propaganda arm” of a socialist government. Many journalists, both print and broadcast, approve of that idea.

Mainstream media journalists are least in favor of freedom of speech.

From his Serfdom book Ch 11, “The End of Truth.”

“Perhaps the most alarming fact is that contempt for intellectual liberty is not a thing which arises only once the totalitarian system is established but one which can be found everywhere among intellectuals who have embraced a collectivist faith and who are acclaimed as intellectual leaders even in countries still under a liberal regime.”

Mainstream media is changing, not dying.
