Of course the media is the voice of the Ruling Class.

With the power and money that comes from robbing every working American, the stakes are far too high to allow a fair and impartial media. Americans might see what's going on, and do to them what every betrayed population does eventually.

It's absolutely part of the deep state. One can go all the way back to the CIA's 'Operation Mockingbird', where they systematically planted CIA agents in all the top news broadcasts & newspapers to push the preferred CIA narrative.

Easier still and more recent are the Wikileaks revelations of that CNN's Donna Brazile fed the debate and town hall questions to Hillary Clinton in order to affect the election. CNN then spent days raving about how prepared and professional Clinton came across, while Trump appeared unprepared. Or the Wikileaks revelations that the WaPo, Politico & NYT all had various "reporters" sending the DNC their stories, asking for permission to publish, letting the DNC edit their stories being publication & the DNC contacting reporters with stories they wanted written in order to "stay ahead of the narrative".

Then we saw a rash of fake news stories from the WaPO and NYT after Trump was elected. The Russians had hacked the power grid in Maine, blah, blah, blah. On and on they went.

Then we found out Fusion GPS, former WSJ writers were up to their ears in deep state cronyism in trying to take down our president. Worse yet, we know Fusion GPS was paying MSM reporters to run articles friendly to the Trump/Russia narrative. They've fought who hide which "journalists" and which outlets those payments were going to, but that's all going to become declassified and public knowledge when the IG report comes out.

Is the MSM part of the deep state? It's self evident & I can't wait until the Fusion GPS cronies are exposed and hopefully prosecuted.

The CIA paid Bezos 600 million and he turned around and immediately bought WaPo without any negotiations, for 250 million.

Well, think back to what the democratic platform used to be. They were elite rich men, enslaving black people to do their dirty work at keeping them wealthy. That same democratic platform has now leaked into modern day republicans. The republican was the one that began the public school system, and now the democrats are in control of it, and are using it for brainwashing and indoctrination camps. Both the republicans and democrats were the ones that created NAFTA, and that allowed good paying jobs to leave the country, and the ones that stayed, are taxed to death. Also, is it any surprise, that the democrats are the ones fighting for immigrants to stay? They need cheap labor to till their fields, just like they did back in the slave days. Democratic party never did stray away from that mentality...

They took control of Hollywood as well, and as long as they have had control, it's still rare to see a black actor or actress, director or movie to get awards in their elite ceremonies. I'm still in shock why the blacks still vote for democratic candidates when all they do is keep them down and in line via stereo types. I'd love to see a libertarian or a christian conservative become mayor in a black controlled city, but they are too brainwashed now.

Most people misunderstand the deep state.
It used to be called the administrative state, and there are many articles over many years written about it.

It exists. But no, there are no meetings and the members do not really know each other. It is understood, however, by the heads of various government departments that their 'duty' is to look out for those departments first. Ever higher budgets must be requested, ever more regulations passed, and ever more people hired. And any politician or group who challenges that notion must be fended off.

The current FBI scandal is a good example, as is Lois Lerner and Jonathan Gruber, who wrote Obamacare and spoke of the 'stupidity of the American Voter'. These people only endorse Obama because he endorses them.
Do Lerner and Gruber go to meetings and share a secret handshake? No. But they are part of the administrative state and they consider themselves permanent and therefore superior to any elected official.
And there are hundreds of thousand of these people employed my media and government.

Tinfoil has not been used for decades. It is aluminum foil today.
