If you think we have a “Free Press”, look who owns the Press.

The "free press" in its original form was the honest broadcasting of the news by paper, radio, or TV.

We now have the internet.

So, the real issue comes down to this: "If we don't have "freedom of speech," we don't have a "democracy."

By that reasoning, we still have a "democracy" albeit a fragile one.

That said, there are other ways to kill a "democracy." One is a collapse of the institutions that the "democracy" depends on, like the DOJ, the FBI, and the military (which has gone Woke).

There is also no democracy with stolen elections.

I don’t trust anybody who refers to the type of government we’re supposed to have as a “democracy.”

There is very little of what most of us once believed to be a “free press”. There is now only a horde of propagandist whores who pretend to be news reporters/”journalists”, and a censorship apparatus that would have made Stalin envious.

“Sometimes, we’d put something out, and it seemed clearly newsworthy, but everybody would react to it the same way, they would respond to it in the same language on Twitter, and I have no idea how that happens. It’s a mystery to me.”

Taibbi never heard of the Journ-o-list? Or is he silly enough to think they didn’t replace it with another equivalent once they were caught?

We never had a Democracy. As we creep closer to being a Democracy we lose freedoms, along with rule-of-law.

Freedom of the press has been non-existent for decades now. We have a press that is only critical of one party, and provides cover for the most corrupt party of the two parties. That party is the major corrupt party, while the Republican Party is the minor corrupt party, because it has earned its moniker of being the Stupid Party. They must follow, because they are incapable of leading, and we are being led into hell

Both parties are POS entities, but one party has an outsider that has seized control that causes problems for both POS parties.

That outsider, is the only reason I vote Republican now.

Time to retake our country which I always love & support, even when I fight against most of her leaders who are loathsome & corrupt, and do not care about her citizens whatsoever.

That outsider, along with the grace of the Lord will deliver out nation back to; We The People with the Lord welcomed back into the public square once again.
