How the Fourth Estate Became the Fifth Column

Ric's post over at Ric's Rulez reminds me of the following.

Read Ric's post and then read the following:

Repost of Repost of 2004 essay written by Daniel P Collins, MD (Naples Florida)

Framers of the Constitution recognized the need for a Free Press to report on governmental action to the citizenry. They accorded unique privileges to the news media to protect and ensure this vital activity. It is now obvious, with the secret ABC memo, and the 60 minutes, that the media does not know the difference between freedom & license or that privileges always carry concomitant responsibilities. The media has shifted from a legitimate mission of reporting the news to a mission of creating the news. In so doing, it has become the “Fifth Column”*, undermining & eroding the Republic from within. The media manipulation of the election environment to insure a close election, great copy for press & TV, calls for encouragement of visceral hatred of various groups: bad for the nation, but newsworthy. They gleefully & dishonestly set to work. After all, the ends justify the means: the creation of news. Honesty, morality, ethics or National Welfare be damned. The Fifth Column has a job to be done!

Crazy ass, racist Physicians!
