Kris wraps up his "loosely connected" 3 episode series with this episode talking about the old Irish Proverb from the 1300's "Better the Devil You Know vs the One You Don't!" People often apply that saying to political figures... Kris discusses why that is a bad idea.

Being able to "redress government officials" is one of the cornerstones of the American way of life! Only now, in 2022... those in government, be it: local, state or national... have decided they aren't much up for listening to the public anymore. And they definitely aren't interested in "criticism".

Join Kris for this discussion, as he attempts to find a solution, to this major issue!

Episode 189: Death of the 4th Estate!

The 4th Estate is a name given to the "press/news media/journalist" that primarily covers the Government & Political Officials. Journalists that investigate and report on Government & Political Officials preform an important role in our society! They help "link" the citizens & the government together and they help keep the government "in check"... or at least, that is what they should be doing!

Kris believes, however, that we are witnessing the "Death of the 4th Estate!" For some time, bias has been creeping into journalism... and more & more, "journalists" act as "commentators, with opinions" instead of "journalist"... which, doesn't have to be a bad thing, as long as everyone is honest about it & the citizens can balance out their intake.

However, the greatest problem is, the fact that so many Public Officials have decided they are just simply not going to take criticism from... anyone, anymore! And this is where this episode takes the listeners. This is the first part, in what will be a multiple episode look at "journalism", "criticism" and how society, can better hold Government & Political Officials accountable!
