"The Rotten Pillar: Media, Power, and the Collapse of Justice"

In today’s reality, the decay of justice does not begin in the courtroom. It begins in the newsroom.

Our media — once hailed as the Fourth Pillar of Democracy — has become a hollow, rotting structure. Instead of questioning power, it flatters it. Instead of holding leaders accountable, it worships them. Instead of informing the public, it manipulates them. It has stopped being the voice of the people and become a mouthpiece for the powerful.

This isn’t just a journalistic failure. It’s a democratic disaster.

Turn on any news channel today, and what do you see? A carefully scripted narrative where every man is guilty before trial, and every powerful figure is a saint beyond question. The media doesn't investigate. It doesn’t interrogate. It doesn’t disturb the status quo. It protects it.

Criticism of political leaders — be it Presidents, Prime Ministers, or cabinet ministers — is crushed under the weight of PR campaigns, corporate pressure, and government control. This is not journalism. This is propaganda.

And the consequences are brutal.

A citizen falsely accused is crucified before evidence even surfaces. A poor protester is branded anti-national. Meanwhile, those in power — no matter how corrupt, how cruel, how criminal — are shielded by silence.

If you examine the last 10 years with clear eyes, you’ll see the rot spreading like a disease:

Social divisions amplified.

Dissent punished.

Corruption normalized.

Truth buried.


This is not a free press. This is a sold press.

And what do we do with something rotten?

We don't paint over it.
We don't patch it.
We uproot it.
We tear it down and rebuild it — not as an accessory to power, but as a watchdog of the people.

A nation whose media refuses to question authority is not progressing — it’s decaying from within. It is sliding, slowly and steadily, into a dark hole of ignorance, fear, and tyranny.

This is not just about media.
This is about justice.
This is about freedom.
This is about the soul of a dying democracy.

The truth doesn’t die on its own. It is murdered — by silence, by fear, and by paid headlines.

It’s time to bring the truth back.
Even if we have to fight for it.
Even if we have to rebuild from scratch.
