Grandiloquent Word of the Day's Post
Typocrat [TY-poh-krat]
(n.) - Someone who attempts to maintain rulership by controlling the press.
From Greek “typos" (blow, mark, impression) later (type, printing, the press)+ “-crat” from Greek “-krates” (ruler, governor, one who possesses power)
The word “typocrat” is used to describe politicians, publishers, or media moguls who hold disproportionate control by deciding what information is printed and distributed.
Used in a sentence:
The typocrat does not silence the press so much as curate it, pruning the thorny correspondents until only the decorative shrubbery remains, while reserving ‘Quiet, Piggy!’ for any woman with a voice and the audacity to use it.”

For decades, the vast majority of the media has been dominated by Democrats. You exemplify this trend. You deceive for financial gain and to promote the disturbing agenda of the left. In my view, Trump is an angel, as I cannot rely on any information from the deceitful media.
I've heard different, dude. . . the conspiracy is Jewish people control the news, I mean that's what they used to say before Fox news? I used to hear it from conspiracy theorists and religious people, you know the type but I've never heard that news media being controlled by Democrats nor Republicans, not once.
What's your next bold statement, Indian street food is the best? and Mexican food sucks because it's made by Mexicans?
Winston Smith knew the daily Chocoration was 30 grams per day yet the Ministry of Truth said it was raised from 15-20 grams. We're getting close to 1984 to a 2073. . .If Winston was a "smart" man a "genius" he would've killed Julia before getting caught. Big Brother would have seen him as a leader.
I think I'm confabulating things, a Mandela effect of sorts. . .I remember it as a chocoration but it's actually a chocolate ration. Ok.
