Evidence based argument and theory is NOT the same as uninformed opinion......but

making it appear so sure makes for cheap and easy work of political and factual news production.

The result is entertainment, news as entertainment, news as manipulation, news as disinformation and misinformation, news as distraction, news as moral preaching. Everything but what the press was given constitutional written protection for in the first place, to be guardians of truth, guardians of free and fair debate, guardians of democracy.

The media pillaring and demonizing Manning and Snowden and Greenwald, is this corrupted shadow of a media lashing back at those that dare the nation to be reminded of their constitutional role.

Maybe they will finally feel guilty enough to make the march back to the watchtower.
