Here‘s where I wrote about it last year, and here‘s a great article by Tom Porteous on the same

subject.

The Globalist website posted an article of mine on how the media and intellectuals subvert American

democracy. Here’s the lead of the piece -

Why is it that in the United States, the vast majority of government abuses and failures either never

show up on the  intellectual radar screen, or are merely one or two blips ” and then forever gone?

One reason is that many intellectuals have long disdained the specific details of government policies.

The more coercive government becomes, the more tactless it is to admit that government coerces. Looking

at the actual details of government policy is left to the auditors and accountants, the congressional

staffers ” or perhaps the interns.
