Media as the Fourth Branch of Government?
In the United States, we have checks and balances of our government already set up. Of course, now we have a fourth branch of government; the mass media, which appears to be controlling the minds of the people. Should we now consider that the Government has a fourth branch? Well if so, should be eliminate another branch of government?
For instance we could get rid of the Justice Department and try everyone in the court of public opinion and then stone people we did not like? We could replace the executive branch and simply do whatever the mass media surveys showed was the will of the people? No vetoes, if all the people vote to attack a nation that sponsors international terrorism, so be it.
We could ditch the Congress and Senate, that seems to be a duplication anyway, we do not need both of them? May the lobbyists could all get new jobs and work selling TV advertising or do the layout and graphic work design for the New York Times? People could vote instantly with their remote control; perhaps order themselves larger payouts of social security or better benefits for healthcare?
Who needs the government when you have the media, which tells you how to think, what to think and why you should be thinking there? Simply allow the media to run our civilization, as it is doubtful they could do any worse than the Congress or Senate, Justice Department or Blob of Bureaucracy. I vote the Media for President, as they are choosing who will be our next President anyway, since they control the minds of the masses. You just think your vote is your own and you own your mind. Silly you.
