Jefferson Was Right, If The Press Fails, America Fails

The other day we shared some quotes from Thomas Jefferson on his concern for the future of the Republic if the people of America were not enlightened and informed, and if the press failed to do its impartial job.  Here’s one, "Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe."

The quotes were part of an article by Mark Alexander writing for the Patriot Post.  The point of his article was that which Jefferson feared most is happening now.  Alexander writes. “Today, only the most delusional partisan would deny that the press and our institutions of higher learning are dominated by a persistent bias in support of statism. In other words, they are abjectly opposed to Liberty and enlightenment. That bias most often takes the form of elitism, and the belief that all citizens of "lesser" heritage or learning require the direction of the state in all matters — ostensibly for their own protection.”

It’s a very good article and it reinforces how prophetic Jefferson really was.   Give it a read at https://patriotpost.us/alexander/45210
