Thank you! You are on target.

From your "about" page, on what is referred to as "mainstreet media": "They are OLD MEDIA. I beg each of you to consider the subtle compliment you give them every time you call them "mainstream."

The thought often has occurred to me that we, and Trump, have misdiagnosed their identity. You, on the other hand, accurately describe them as, "old media."

To expand on that thought, that group of 2017-18 "old media" outlets and "journalists" represent Old World and 20th Century ideas which classify and assign individuals to "classes," and/or "identities," in order to use them as foils for their socialistic plans/"changes" to America.

Progressives, as they self-identify, are not "progressive" at all.

Instead, their so-called "progressive ideology" cares not a whit about individual freedom, individual rights to freedom of conscience and free expression of ideas, or freedom of individual enterprise.

Progressivism claims and demands a certain conformity and group-think mentality that excludes and condemns freedom of conscience and free expression of ideas: an ideology which, in itself is totalitarian and unacceptable under the Constitution of the United States of America.

Progressivism should be the great fear of all who love individual liberty!

Media "journalists, of all people should laud and praise a free market of ideas. Do they not understand that if that prong of the protections they enjoy under the Constitution is weakened or "goes," so may all the other freedoms the Founders insured by that Constitution's provisions?
