I view it as a symptom of the broader effort to villify the fourth estate and condition people to act(vote) on their emotions rather than a rational look at verifiable facts.

Nearly 20 years of attacks, from both the left and the right, across the anglosphere.

It goes back waaaaaaay further than 20 years.

The most recent case before this was nearly 40 years ago under Reagan, and he certainly wasn't the first president guilty of it.

This isn't a Trump thing.

The "Main Stream Media" rhetoric really started with the teaparty stuff, powered by the internet, and championed both the right (tea party in america, faragists in the UK) and left (corbynistas in the uk, AOC types I assume in the states)

Villifying normal people is more nefarious.

But who told you that there is a Fourth Estate? Was it the very “Fourth Estate”?
