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.
