Journalism is now more about complying with the corporate agenda than searching out facts and reporting the truth. When both the media and law enforcement are partisan, democracy loses its fangs and a country becomes a failed state. The US now qualifies as a failed state. Even more alarming is when a purveyor of the truth is vilified for committing the “crime” of exposing the truth. Julian Assange is an icon of the truth.
