I came across this relatively unknown Heinlein nonfiction piece by chance. It's an excellent read, and an excellent insight into our own "free press" and its co-dependent relationship with the power elites. [More]
I bring it up because I see our major networks, authorized by the FCC to broadcast over public airways under the assumption that this serves the public good, have colluded to black out revelations about Hillary as recounted by an insider who knew her for years.
It's fair to wonder if the "indispensable" services political royalty gets from media cheerleaders offer a near-impenetrable shield against anti-trust restrictions "progressives" place on other corporate endeavors when it serves their purposes.
I'm working on an Oath Keepers piece I plan to post today about how independent efforts to bypass sanctioned gatekeepers with information they suppress are being further stymied by elite interests. They want what we know limited to the pravda, the whole pravda, and nothing but the pravda.
There were two major newspapers published by the Communist Party in the Soviet Union - Pravda ("The Truth") and Izvestiya ("The News"). A common joke was that there was no news in "The Truth" and no truth in "The News", though the wikipedia entry would lead me to believe that my source of information had the joke jumbled.
