Isn't it funny how the media picks OUR spokesmen.
Like Pat Buchanan.
The "media" is picking everything, including presidents.
It could be said that the "media" may be the most dangerous threat to democracy and the future that we have ever faced.
The constitution protects them while they manipulate public opinion to the point of character assassination and classified info leaks to our enemies.
They have far too much influence and cannot be controlled. In fact, most would say that they should not be controlled or sanctioned.
The problem is, that is the U.S., the media can publish lies and distortions without any recourse except from the public.
Unfortunately, the public can do little except get an occasional retraction that is placed on page 25, or in the electronic media's case, nothing!
The "media" has only it's own moral compass to guide it, and it has little or no moral compass to speak of.
In the end, the "media" may well destroy the very thing it was intended to protect.
