I would only add that the 4th Estate is only necessary if they do their job. If they don’t, they are no longer necessary. We found that out in the 60’s and plenty of informative publications were started and circulated to counteract the heavy weight of approval Walter Cronkite gave to the Viet Nam war and it’s perpetrators. Also, American Blacks have NEVER had support from the so-called 4th estate so in the 60’s they had Teach-ins and sent spokespeople around to college campuses to teach us!!! I remember the great Roy Wilkins saying—“I don’t mind if you have private prejudices, but I do mind if you make private prejudices into public policies!” It was so brilliant and so concise that it has been my voting guide ever since. And it didn’t come from the then and now corrupt, corporate-serving self-congratulating 4th toady estate.
