Where is the Free Press?

America's supposed defender of democracy, the free press, is no where to be found when democracy has been toppled. Never mind that the United States is a republic, the media have been maddeningly derelict in their coverage of the current "financial crisis". Where are the questions about the seemingly unlimited power of the Federal Reserve? Where are the questions about the constitutionality of corporate bailouts? How can American's allow what is defined as "necessary" by the President, Congress, and the Fed trump what is defined as mandatory by the Constitution?

These are not difficult questions, yet they have not been asked by the media. America's next best hope to stop this intrusion on their rights: the judicial branch. America must turn to its judges and lawyers to enforce the law if the press is unwilling to or unable to shine a light on the tyrannical deeds of Washington. If nothing is done to challenge these unlawful acts then I fear the worst is yet to come.
