She should be going to prison for the crimes she has committed.

Anyone still think we have a free and fair media in this country?

Your grammar is bad. “Media” is plural, and “is” wants a singular subject.

Not being a grammar Nazi, just making the serious point that the central element of “the media” is journalism. And our problem, the central part of it, is the fact that we don’t have free and independent presses, we have a free - but not independent - single unitary press.

That is, wire service journalism - think, the AP and its membership - is a single entity. It is free to follow its own interests - by the virtue of its propaganda monopoly, too free - and thus it promotes “the critic” at the expense of “the man who is actually in the arena.”

And the opposite of “the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena” is (spoken to the businessman) “You didn’t build that.” The reality of that is, tho, that any businessman who does not in fact build, allows decay - and that, quickly.
