The remedy

Richard Reeb relects on a remedy for a media worldview that is alien to our thinking of just "powers from the consent of the governed." We no longer want to consent.

But old media have an overweening sense of their own importance. They believe that they alone can or should guarantee our freedoms or, perhaps more accurately, to restrain our natural inclination to think, speak and act without oppression by the government. As long as we consent to this situation, we are consenting to be misled.
