I keep hearing The Press, which lives with record low approval ratings is "Not the Enemy". At first thought, I agree... they are "The Free Press", the "Fourth Pillar", the voice of "We the People". But, actually, they are not.
They are hardly "Free" in an objective sense. What we really get is Left Wing views that are pretty lock step. The same 5-6 stories are covered in nearly the same order with the same Left Wing, Big Government Globalist spin.
If they were the "Fourth Pillar", then they would stand up against the Presidency, Congress, and Judiciary on a regular basis, not just when the Left Wing ideology is not be espoused. They are no longer the "Forth Pillar", but instead a support Pillar for the Democratic Party.
They are certainly not the voice of "We the People". They are ivory towered Leftists that went to the same schools, with the same views, and are soundly rejected with a less than 20% approval rating.
So how did they get called "The Enemy"? Who is "The Enemy"?
ENEMY: a person who is actively opposed or hostile to someone or something.
ENEMY: a thing that harms or weakens something else.
The Press certainly fits these definitions for tens of millions of Americans. The Press is for Big Government and Globalism which most Americans are against. The Press is for Open Borders, which most Americans are against. The Press is against President Trump, who holds a 45%+ approval rating. The Press is Pro-Abortion in a HUGE way, which is not how most Americans believe. The Press is
ACTIVELY OPPOSED OR HOSTILE AND WEAKENS AMERICAN IDEALS AS HELD BY MOST AMERICANS.
The Press is indeed.... The enemy!

When the coverage is so lopsided, which can be shown with simple analytics, "We the People" no longer believe "The Press" are our allies, as they actively work against the duly elected, unless of course it was their chosen candidate.
Only a lock step leftists, about 18% of the nation, supports the press which explains their dismal numbers. Leftists in America are a huge minority, unless you are a member of "The Press".
