The Fourth Estate
(lemmy.world)
The term Fourth Estate or fourth power refers to the press and news media in their explicit capacity, beyond the reporting of news, of wielding influence in politics. The derivation of the term arises from the traditional European concept of the three estates of the realm: the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners.
The media outlets are helping Trump keep focus off of his actual goal. It's easy when all his distractions are catastrophes by their own right.
It's like "hey look at Gaza", "look at immigrants", "look at all the human rights violations!"
While they just destroy the democratic institutions and sell them to their friends for scraps.
And when they're all done, they are gonna declare the United States a failed project, and divide the country amongst each other.
