The Fourth Estate is in reality a Fifth Estate of Fifth columnists.

The First Estate was the clergy, the second estate was the nobility, and the third estate was the people. In a polity which includes no established church and no nobility, what does “Fourth Estate” even mean? In reality wire service journalism functions as a first estate - as self-interested "received doctrine" masquerading as rationality. It is not rationality, it is emotion, flattery, and sophistry dominating rationality.
