"Such as it is, however, the press has become the greatest power within the Western countries, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. One would then like to ask: by what law has it been elected and to whom is it responsible? In the communist East a journalist is frankly appointed as a state official. But who has granted Western journalists their power, for how long a time and with what prerogatives?"

Why do not rich Conservatives start their own press, their own news shows, their own TV shows based on proselytizing people into reality rather than leftism. Their motivation doesn’t have to because of profit but because of the survival of Western civilization. You would think that there isn’t any money among Conservatives and if there is they are not willing to part with it for vital causes. All they seem to understand is giving some money to politicians. Life has many greater issues than just mere politics. Horrible people like Soros understand this and pump money into a world they try to shape. It’s time for us to do the same. Right now we are sleeping at the wheel.
