‘This staggering power is used to weaken our country, to prepare America for surrender. The media use loaded language to push “sensible gun laws” (gun control), “comprehensive immigration reform” (open borders), “Medicare for all” (socialized medicine), “women’s reproductive health” (abortion), and “popular vote” (extraconstitutional elections. Their cleverly worded arguments convince Americans to stand down while the Left chips away at our Constitution, to willingly disarm and passively surrender our independence.’
But that’s ridiculous, you say. The press doesn’t have the power to use government, courts, and Congress to illegally oust a sitting president. The media could never launch and execute a coup without government. True, and government could never launch and execute a coup without the media.
“The first thing dictators do is finish free press, to establish censorship. There is no doubt that a free press is the first enemy of dictatorship.” —Fidel Castro
Done! Free press in America is dead. We now have what the late Andrew Breitbart labeled a “Democrat Media Complex” (DMC), an imperium even more powerful than our government.
After all, media effectively control who serves in government, can play kingmaker or assassin with information they release or withhold. Politicians know that a coordinated racism, sexism, or #MeToo charge can destroy the most powerful official, sink the most promising candidate. Gaslighting is another tactic the press uses to sway election and suppress the vote. Media release phony polls to make the Republican candidate appear a lost cause, the Democrat inevitable.
And our government can’t (yet) invade Americans’ homes, remove forbidden literature, and enforce state propaganda. They can’t (yet) round up Americans and ship them to re-education camps to restrict information and block opposing views, to instill the progressive doctrine. Yet the press can and virtually does all the above, a superpower, omnipresent, ever-present, and invincible
