They said the government was by and for the people, and the media was free. They weren't. Deep state actors controlled them. Then, after the populist revolts of 2016, they turned the tools of regime change, including disinfo, censorship, and lawfare, against the American people.

The statement and conversation involve allegations of government and media manipulation, touching on significant public issues such as media freedom and government transparency. The tone is accusatory and suggests a conspiracy, which can be polarizing.
