Bailing Out Big Media

While a guest on a radio show a few weeks back, a caller asked a
question about how the media and leftist government establishment were
joined at the hip. In response, I mentioned something I had been
pondering. With bailouts all the rage in Washington, said I, it
wouldn’t surprise me if the ailing newspaper industry
received one in the not-too-distant future. After all, the statists
have their three pillars of deceit – the brain trust called academia,
the bread-and-circuses culture shapers in entertainment, and the

    From Selwyn’s article,”…After all, the statists have their three pillars of deceit – the brain trust called academia, the bread-and-circuses culture shapers in entertainment, and the mainstream media…”
    Oh so true, but so quickly dismissed as a conservative conspiracy theory by too many people. The “three pillars of deceit” are not a new concept, but an ancient one used to lead people into a totalitarian state. I would highly recommend to all a fairly modern novel written in a more innocent era by Ayn Rand, “The Fountainhead” (1943). The movie stinks so don’t go there, but the book truly displays Rand’s grasp on human nature and the ease in which the “pillars of deceit” can control a people. Warning the book is at least PG-13
