If the abuse of freedom of the press, by the press, is irreparable than America is irreparable


Is it being "authoritarian" to want to curb the over-sized and corrupt power of the Big Media? I suppose that question is linked to curbing the power of the global big business drive to create a border-less world, controlled by them. Is that giving-in to Jean Revel's "totalitarian temptation?"

The Big Media has been falsely shouting fire in a crowded theater. If the abuse of freedom of the press, by the press, is irreparable than America is irreparable. There are bright people in America who should be able to figure out a legal way to curb the power of the Big Media, by breaking up monopolies, etc.

Trump is now nearly destroyed by the very swamp he sought to drain. I suppose Trump suffers from what the Greeks called hubris---but the huge task to save America and the West requires the boldness of a hero. That is what the populist nationalism and economic nationalism of Trump was all about.

America can be saved without calling for a Stalin or Hitler, cant it? I think so. It was the survival instinct, not a desire for totalitarianism, that caused the people who live between the decadent coasts in America to elect Donald Trump.
