The issue highlights the fact that liberals cry that the press is an arm of the Republican Party, while conservatives cry that the press is "liberal" and favors the Democrats. The press favors who is perceived to be the power at the moment. Let the Democrats take the next election in a landslide and control congress and the whitehouse and we will see that "liberal" press reappear --- well, perhaps only in the minds of the Republicans.
The problem is that the military should not be the most powerful branch of government --- don't think they are? Well, they get the most money out of the budget. The founders saw that a standing army would lead to this perversion of our system.
