Democracy or Pressocracy?

Last year the United States duly elected Donald Trump as President.  While many events happened last year, the results of the election were not legally contested.  The results stand.  Unfortunately, the press seems to think they are more "important' than any group of citizens. After all they have the 'correct' view of all the candidates and Donald Trump 'cannot' be President.

The idea that the Press and only the Press can select the President is the definition of a Pressocracy. The press wants us to believe they and they alone can determine the qualities and qualifications of the next President.  This is not a democratic idea, but an elitist and classist view of the world.  A democratic view is the people rule, even if they make a stupid choice.

I for one, do not wish to live in a Pressocracy and will do everything in my legal right to prevent such an event.
