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!

July 19th, 2022  |  1 hr 27 mins

bilbrey podcast, commentators, criticism, death of the 4th estate, government, indiana, journalism, journalists, muncie, news media, perception is reality w/kristopher h. bilbrey, press, winchester

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!

Episode 050: Welcome to the Church of Apathy

October 24th, 2019  |  47 mins 40 secs

federal lawsuit, kevin carreno, muncie police, nora powell, perception is reality w/kristopher h. bilbrey, welcome to the church of apathy, winchester

Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses apathy and how it is a serious problem for attempting to better the communities we all live in! Some treat apathy as a new religion... going as far as fighting to not be active or involved! We take a look at a few examples of how apathy has caused people to now act differently than we once would have: how one community refuses to call out a Candidate that is accused of Domestic Violence... how there are citizens that will not fight for other citizens' rights, even when they are violated... how people "say" they want change and want things to be better in their communities, but they aren't willing to put forward the work it takes to make the communities better (low voter turnout)...

Now is the time to turn away from APATHY and fight to Better Government Through Citizen Involvemnet!
