It’s your fucking duty. It’s why you got an ’estate’. You are a necessary facet of democracy but you need to do your part and act like it so you deserve the protections and benefits provided to you for doing so - like benefit of trust and access to politicians.

With few exceptions, you’re failing to be our eyes and ears and mouths and are instead mouthpieces for ownership and interests.

If it was just your job to make money take off the news armour (yeah you Fox) and stand naked in front of us as the liars you are.

Oof sorry. Got ranty there. It’s all getting to be too much.

Can you explain the “estate” thing like I’m a 5 year old non-American? (Only one of those is actually true, but I won’t say which one)

France had 3 estates, The Nobles, The Clergy, and the Everyone Else. Another two got added by political theory people over time. Number 5 is the journalists.

Interesting, I had never heard of this! That explains that show “The Fifth Estate”. I’ll have to read up on this a bit, seems like useful knowledge.
