Discuss the statement "the media are the enemy" and its implications, including the responsibility of journalists to report the truth and the role of the government in generating false information.
To be correct both grammatically and logically, you would write "The media are the enemy". But of course, that would imply that ideas, contrarian or affirmative, are also "the enemy". Of course we encounter daily messages delivered by diverse media that are "falsehoods and intellectual garbage", but the media are the messengers, and we don't kill the messengers, do we? The "falsehoods and intellectual garbage" are generated primarily from their source, in this particular case, the new administration and its assortment of liars, prevaricators, and fabulists. Can you blame educated people who transmit this garbage to the general populace for injecting a bit of "WTF" and incredulous dismay at the blizzard of disinformation blasting out of our secretive, corrupt, and determined wrecking crew in the White House? No, you can not.
