MSNBC'S ANAND GIRIDHARADAS: Americans' 'freedom obsession' blinds them to other 'threats'.

“You put someone who can barely read a sentence in government, in the figure of Donald Trump, and it becomes true government sucks, because you made it suck by telling everybody it sucks."

I think that more than adequately describes 'journalism' in the figure of MSNBC contributor Anand Giridharadas.

"I think the most important thing that could come out of this is realizing the government is not the biggest threat to our liberty,” Giridharadas said. “It can be a threat to our liberty but we’re threatened by many, many things and what the government fundamentally does is protect us.”

It's what the government should do, but what Giridharadas and his ilk mean by 'protect' is control.
