Forget the lousy journalists, they aren't worth considering. Every single time you hear a good journalist, a good reporter - reporters being the only real journalists - an editorialist, a radio or TV journalist bemoaning the lies told by Trump, told by his staff and cabinet, Republicans in the Senate, the House, in state governments, every time you hear them talking about the lies that flow like a deadly cholera and typhus and chemical sewer from the Murdoch empire, etc.. . .
as they document the democracy killing, the People killing, the biosphere killing effect of lies you should wonder at how, every single one of them will accept the most massively idiotic article of faith among such journalists, such members of the scribbling class that,
"Mercy, sakes alive, NOTHING can be done to suppress those lies or, heavens, we'll lose our freedoms . . . oh, wait . . . . "
Only they never get to the "oh, wait". They have a financial and professional interest in NEVER getting to that "oh, wait."
We will suppress lies in the mass media, first, in other media, second, on "social media" third or you can forget about electoral democracy, democracy, certainly egalitarian democracy.
The scribbling class intelligentsia prove themselves to be asses up which their heads are by their failure to note this discrepancy in their discourse.
Gossips never think they are gossips.
