Sorry. I missed you point in post 14. But what I’m reading now is...
The Media. The media is worse than the government.
I agree with other posters that we can vote out politicians, but not journalists.
The 1st amendment gives the people the right to a free press, it doesn't give the NYT or NBC the right to exist in perpetuity. We try to strangle them by refusing to buy their products, but the likes of George Soros will fund them at a financial loss just to keep the megaphone alive.
So, if I had to land on one side of the coin, it would be the media, because they are fearless in their invincibility.
