Used to be the media they called the 4th branch
They used to be the 4th Estate, but somewhere along the lines the media, deep state, and the IC were interchangeably used as the 4th Branch.
They're all probably right, but in my opinion the deep state (all the federal agencies with their lifetime bureaucratic employees) is the main factor. The media is just a mouthpiece. They spew what is given to them by their masters. Granted some comes from the IC but I would bet more comes from the bureaucrats. Besides, the IC could be lumped in with the rest of the "feds that can't be fired".
