Hannelore Morton In these last several years a veritable “Fifth Estate” has emerged. This new estate fuses the traditional power of the media with the subversive role of a fifth column. Specifically, a large column of media people now works within the ostensibly non-partisan press corps with no greater goal than to undermine the right and uplift the left, all the while professing neutrality. As I have come to learn first hand, the Fifth Estate routinely practices a kind of anti-journalism. The anti-journalist does not seek to report the news. The anti-journalist attacks the people who do report the news or, just as likely, ignores them completely. When in attack mode, the anti-journalist disregards the facts and dismisses the fact finder as a partisan, a conspiracy theorist, a loose cannon, or inevitably, in regards to Barack Obama, a racist. With the ascendancy of Obama, this Fifth Estate has all but taken over the major media. Allow me to cite a few examples from the 2008 campaign as well as from my own personal experience in advancing the thesis that Bill Ayers co-authored Obama’s acclaimed 1995 memoir Dreams from My Father. With the respectable conservatives cowed, and the blogosphere ghettoized, the Fifth Estate fully establishes what is news and what is not. And unlike the readers of Pravda in the Soviet heyday, the readers of the New York Times and the viewers of network news don’t know they are being lied to. cashill/intellect_fraud/fifth_estate.htm
