The fourth estate destroyed itself by becoming the PR organ for the Democratic party. From Martin Jay as strategic-culture.org:
The fourth estate has literally died and has been replaced by phalanx of corrupt young men and women who have redefined the profession entirely as an extension of the state and its craven objectives.
Many will be no doubt asking themselves, especially in the U.S., how did the West get itself tied up in a regional war with Iran’s proxies? But who can keep a straight face when the narrative from Washington insists that the attacks against Houthis – and now Iran’s proxies in Iraq and Syria – are not linked to the genocide being carried out in Gaza by Israel, with weapons given by the U.S. Western elites must think their voters are especially stupid if they swallow, not helped by the UK’s defence chief in parliament explaining to MPs that “Gaza is a long way from the Red Sea”.
In the past few days, when a U.S. senator asked a Singaporean national in a congressional hearing if he was a member of the Chinese Communist party, many will argue that our politicians in the west are simply getting dumber. The level of education of our politicians simply doesn’t compare to what we would expect 30 years ago. But the real issue is how corrupt they have become and perhaps even more importantly the demise of journalism.
Biden uses the full reach of his friends on the Washington Post to promote him and his messages. This is one level of corruption we know and understand – partisanism. But there is a whole new level to corruption when those same journalists actually replicate so-called facts which they know are lies. Journalism as we knew it is practically dead. Journalism used to be about the truth because the truth defined policies and how people voted. But the truth has no value any more and journalism is really a decaying corpse.
The newspaper that obstructs the law on a trivial pretext, for money’s sake, is a dangerous enemy to the public weal. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse.

Note to Taiwan-stock up on missiles and defensive armaments but remember, you didn’t built that.
Yes we can!
