Great assessment! Thanks for the post.
I maintain that the MSM has failed in its Constitutional role. Yes. It is independent of the government. But is no longer an impartial entity.
The MSM aids and abets a specific political point of view. It is an advocate of and accessory to liberal-Democrat-socialist-communist activities. It does so to the exclusion of facts while trumpeting itself as highly ethical and balanced (another flawed but noble sounding concept).
In pursuing its liberal-Democrat-socialist-communist agenda the MSM skates perilously close to sedition and treason! It is well past time that its corporations and individuals be prosecuted for libel and espionage.
Freedom of the press does not equate to freedom from responsibility or accountability!

I disagree.
Nowhere in our Sacred Writings (Declaration of Independence & the Constitution) is it written or expected that the press be truthful or honest. The only control on a free press is exercised in the only place where it counts, and where these treasonous leftist bastards perpetually aim their whispers and dronings at.. in our minds.
Your last remarks are ably covered within the current pantheon of laws regarding espionage, aid and comfort to the enemy, and treason. All that is needed is the political will to pursue this.
It is We the People who are the best guarantor of freedom. Period.
