What you say is true. The media as the “5th estate” is necessary. The Op-Ed took over reporting “Front Page” facts. As soon as they get back to the facts, they get their viability back.

The Print press can no longer be the Constitutional Watchdog, as they have become the political LAPDOG.

The Press has lost the ability to tell the difference between Opinion and FACT. With 2 Bankruptcies to prove it.

I call for TALK RADIO to be the People’s Constitutional Watchdog.

The '5th estate', yes. Too bad today's papers are more a '5th column'.
