The US constitution is, at best, a deeply-flawed capitulation to slaveholding interests. The undemocratic mechanisms built into the constitution (Senate, Electoral College, apportionment after the decennial Census, etc.) are a loaded gun that the framers have unwittingly handed to a future despot.

News agencies/outlets are afraid of getting sued if they even approach using the words 'lie', 'liar', or 'lying' because it's bad for the bottom line, especially for media owned by private equity whose existence is predicated on bleeding every last one of their assets dry before moving on.

The media was so in the tank for Bush from the beginning it wasn't even funny. (Vanity Fair piece from 2007: archive.is/SA81T) This, plus distance from Clinton (despite him being popular!), choosing Lieberman as a running mate didn't help.

SCOTUS just delivered the death blow.
