Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one. - H.L.Menken
Our liberty depends on freedom of the press,
and that cannot be limited, without being lost.
- Thomas JeffersonThe single most significant factor in American political culture is the incestuous, extensive overlap between our media institutions and government officials. The former is a dependent appendage of the latter far more than they are anything else. This article discloses some new details and proof of how that toxic process functions, but the fact that our major news organizations — with some exceptions — largely serve as government propaganda outlets is not news. It’s the central fact of American political life, and the NYT itself — along with every other news organization — more than five years ago was obviously aware of this specific problem but not particularly concerned about it.
