Re: Where is the Fourth Estate When You Need Them?

Indeed. Without an effective, active Fourth Estate, one of the most tragic aspects of today's body politic is that so many ignorant, deceived masses of people prevail in letting the Republican Party persuade them to vote against their own self-interest. The preponderance of political deception in the guise of truth is at the heart of the Republican Party. No wonder Senator Snow of Maine, a moderate Republican, wants out. Who can blame her when the idiots in her party rule the day.
