The sovereignty of America is anchored in our Constitution, the principles contained within its text and core anchors the foundational structure of our nation. Liberty and the freedom of expression which are critical to a nation’s sovereignty and can’t exist without the role of a vibrant press/media.
The founders were aware of the power and influence of the media/press by acknowledging the press in its core manifesto structure. The citizens of a sovereign nation are empowered by a principled and transparent unencumbered press/media without a curated scripted journalistic agenda.
The fundamental operation of our government requires the ability of a nation’s people to challenge the government and other institutions at every level, this is achieved and accomplished with a press/ media as an interactive inquiry driven institution not a tool or conduit for the prevailing political politics.
WAPO is one of those threshold critical press/media institutions in our nation primarily aided by being centered in the capital of the USA. For decades WAPO languished in tolerating and even affirming racial inequalities and disparities in America… For decades it published endless accounts of shameful reporting which marginalized communities of color.... For decades WAPO engaged in racist exclusionary hiring practices which included the composition of its BOD and Executive Suite.
WAPO with its underachieving and mediocre journalistic legacy has yet to come close to being the template the Constitution scripted for our nation. The paper has not been awarded any Pulitzer Awards in years.
WAPO has ignored the Orwellian aspects of governance instead of reporting on internecine partisan politics that threatens the essence of democracy from within our borders, WAPO is soaked in continuous coverage of a former failed and unstable president who was MIA in a pandemic. No foreign power is flooding our communities with whisper campaigns baked in disinformation and propaganda. Treason driven republican's policies are transparent and commonplace in every state legislature in America
Today our nation is facing a monumental crisis moment from within our borders. The press/media platforms like WAPO can’t continue to be impotent guardians of liberty and freedom.
Democracy dies in Darkness ……
