4th branch of government (Media) is dangerous

We should have a revote on this Congress given that the DNC and media colluded on the 2018 midterms making Americans think we were under attack from Russia and our President was involved.
Folks, I’m wasn’t necessarily for censorship of the media, but i think i may be now after what we have witnessed the past 2 years.
The media has become the defacto 4th branch of government.
And this must end.

The media is not a branch of the government but it is a branch of the Democratic Party and should be regulated as such.

I've said this over and over....
You couldn't have Obama, ACA, Hillary, etc. without a complicit media. They've long abandoned their role as gatekeeper of truth.

Indeed they are any that is why if a widespread conflict ever breaks out the liberal media should be the first targets.

They should be targeted now. This has gone on long enough. It is time for retribution.

You people need a civics class. The news media are NOT any part of the government, they are generally publicly traded corporations with one single responsibility - increase shareholder value.
The sooner you realize this, the sooner you'll understand their role in our society.

No.
I've heard of the 3 Estates, the clergy, the nobility,and the commoners. Informally the press was referred to as the "4th Estate".
This, "4th branch" stuff is just another malapropism this is just leading to confusing the ignorant.

Ironic considering most on the board seem ignorant to the motivation of the press - profit - just like every other business.
Welcome to capitalism, get used to it, don't expect more from some corporations than others.

Only because of imbeciles like you not recognizing the motivation of the press, and elevating them to some ideal that doesn't exist - and never has existed.

They stand naked without security or enforcement arms, so they should probably tread lightly.

It is a difficult question.
The press/media is now pathologically corrupted as they are now nothing more than water carriers for one side of the political spectrum.
Altering The Constitution is out of the question.
Let them have their freedom of the press and watch them lose their power by misusing it.
