And how does it fit into our classical conception of Rome. The fourth estate is considered an aspect of the government, but not in the shadowy way in which it has been employed. Ineed, the closest classical representation is the senate, which is supposed to be a body of learned men.
Interestingly, the reason why these learned men got more votes than others is because their input was considered, well, more valuable, because they spoke for hte republic and the commonwealth. We must not allow corruption in the media any more than we should allow it in the senate.
