The biggest dangers to the American republic is the news media. It's being concentrated into the hands of a few megacorporations.

Few viewpoints are being heard.
Inexpereinced news bunnies are being given plum assignments because of their looks. Their news stories have the depth of a gnat's knee.
Pack journalism is the norm.

Without an educated and thoughful electorate, we will increasingly focus on the simple (i.e on the Presidency) and our other governing institutions will decline in prestige, power and influence.
