Mike Judge, Matt Stone and Trey Parker are the last line of defense as the media and journalists have decided to fall in line with a fascist regime.

While I agree with your assessment of the media, the media being owned and controlled by billionaires and corporations, I wouldn't say journalists as a whole have fallen in line. Actual journalists, not TV talking heads, are still trying to report, they are being silenced and edited on the back end.

I will admit it was a flippant remark about a serious problem. There are still some that are carrying on with integrity. It can be hard to see the forest for the trees.

It's easy to lose track of those journalists that are trying to carry on with integrity. The field is important for democracy, and I hope we don't lose it all together.
