Media Treachery

“In old days men had the rack. Now they have the Press. That is an improvement certainly. But still it is very bad, and wrong, and demoralizing. Somebody — was it Burke? — called journalism the fourth estate. That was true at the time no doubt. But at the present moment, it is the only estate. It has eaten up the other three. The Lords Temporal say nothing, the Lords Spiritual have nothing to say, and the House of Commons has nothing to say and says it. We are dominated by Journalism.” —Oscar Wilde

The “Fourth Estate” is a societal or political entity whose influence is not officially recognized. The term refers specifically to the news media; it origin attributed to none other than Edmund Burke, who used this term in a parliamentary debate in 1787.

What Mr. Wilde’s commentary proves is that the media have been decadent for a very long time, and we the people —those whose interests the Fourth Estate allegedly serve - are the biggest fools of all. We pay for these printed periodicals, we patronize their advertisers, and ultimately, we find ourselves utterly demoralized by the media’s lack of morality —their treason— their treachery. Yet, we continue to allow this monster to influence us with its lies, distortions, its liberal agenda, which appear singularly anti-American.

It is not bad enough the media have become lapdogs for the progressive agenda; it appears the American communist movement too overruns them. We learned that media were co-opted by a communist movement to create Barack Obama, and that this successfully elected him to the presidency. What was the purpose of this? To ensure America fails at something —and it surely has, thanks to Obama’s communications director, Anita Dunn and all the useful idiots who laughingly call themselves journalists. In this video, Anita Dunn gloats about how she and others manipulated the American people, how they used the American media to their own advantage, and gave us the worst president in our entire history.

This may not be important, particularly if the reader is already in the tank for the neo-communist movement in America. On the other hand, it could be important if even the very idea that a dedicated communist is able to create a rock star out of a previously obscure politician, and actually propel him onto the world stage —it could make a thinking person very angry. Perhaps angry enough even to repudiate the Obama machine in the 2012 elections.

We certainly hope so.
