That's a very naive look. The term Fourth Estate / Power ( after the three executive, judiciary and legislative) traces its origins from 1787: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Estate Media, since it's mass existence, has always had an outsized, unelected influence. And it has never been a monopoly ( baring wartime censorship and control) because there have always been more than one institutions, which have an interest in competing, at least to some extent. |
