Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, the release of the 'Twitter Files', and the Missouri vs Biden lawsuit revealed how widespread and near total the western establishment's control of the 'media environment' was and is.  The picture it represents itself as neutral, objective, and balanced is a lie.  The media and political establishment are anti-populist, elitist, and anti-domocratic. They deeply resent the rise of new independent voices - through social media - because they have long held undeserved influence over what ideas can be discussed, what's important, and who can hold elected office.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The single word that best describes the professional - managerial class - dominated "deep state" sgencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, FBI, and others along with news media corporations that engage in character assassination and disinformation is "Pathocracy."  We borrow the word from the late Polish psychologist Andrew Lobacweski, who documented the prevalence of narcissists and psychopaths in leadership positions in totalitarian regimes.
