@questioneverything3026 "Free press" and government have been hand in hand since at least World War II. We didn't fight Nazis just to end fascism. We also fought the Nazis to perfect our OWN fascist controls of the hearts and minds of the public. All in a good cause, at first, but that cozy relationship has only strengthened over time. Barack Obama did us all a favor by abolishing the "Fairness Doctrine," which meant to distinguish between opinion and objective news. What the fairness doctrine actually did was create a Washington Beltway consensus on reality that was then promulgated as "objective truth" to the masses. This back-door censorship was much more insidious, pervasive, and difficult to oppose than the BLATANT partisanship, de-platforming, shadow-banning and outright censorship that is now on full display. I think Obama thought this would put the media on total Democrat lock-down. Gloves off. Push the socialist/globalist project through the home stretch to Democrat Party hegemony. All he really accomplished was short-term success and long-term disaffection, as the lies are not NEARLY as well-hidden. Throw in the proliferation of smart phones, and suddenly every citizen has the potential to scoop even the biggest network, and expose truths that conflict with what's on the ABC/NBC/CBS (The American equivalent of BBC, only less obviously creatures run by the government).

@maryellencouse7592 I think you have the cart before the horse. I don't think mail-in voting push was the plan. I think it became the plan by a bunch of opportunists. I make a similar distinction in the rioting and looting game. A bunch of looters didn't get together and create BLM. No. They're just thugs who saw the protests as a wonderful opportunity to enrich themselves by looting. Knowing how China's run, I'm far more willing to believe it was sheer incompetence that led to the release of the virus into the human population. I also believe that the very same people in this country directing our anti-COVID-19 measures provided the funding for the research in the first place. I believe that whenEVER you put the government in charge of protecting you from ANYthing, you're putting the fox in charge of guarding the hen house.

You'd think so, but it'll be the same people in charge after as now. The only way out is the same way out taken by the Soviet Union. You're still in charge, but being in charge doesn't mean anything, because nobody's paying you any mind.
