Reader comments about this quote:

The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land has its fourth branch — the lying and misleading media (MSM, social, etc.). Such malady governs over a collective of helots, serfs and slaves criticizing any opposition with self proclaimed intelligent reporting, thus demonstrating a level of the quote's accuracy. There is little criticizing of the theocracy and very little to no actual intelligent reporting (governing through socialism at the point of the gun).

"Without propaganda and deliberate and false reporting, the government cannot rule the people."
