Twilight of the Fourth Estate
Briefly

The article highlights a growing discontent among legacy media regarding the diminishing control they have over public discourse, specifically illustrated by J.D. Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference. Vance's defense of free speech was poorly received by media elites who now perceive conservative leaders as threats that challenge their narrative. This shift is evident in the media's approach to important discussions about free speech, facing criticism for selective interpretations of history and the role of free speech in democracy, emphasizing the importance of diverse voices in public dialogue.
Democracy rests on the sacred principle that the voice of the people matters. There is no room for firewalls. You either uphold the principle or you don't.
The free press is crumbling, editors are disappearing, social media is giving up on fact checking.
