Turns out the greatest mistake our founders made was freedom of the press. Should have assured all those in the press had differing viewpoints so bias could be checked, but here we have practically 98% of the media part of the Democrat machine deliberately going after anyone challenging and suppressing bad news for their party so there is no check on power.

The Founders were right to say the government cannot restrict the press. The Supreme Court was wrong to give the press de facto if not de jure blanket immunity from civil defamation suit in New York Times v. Sullivan. They had a right to print, now they have a license to lie.
