As to why the media acts as it does, there are many possible explanations. That, however, is for another time. My purpose here is to discuss the effects of their behavior, and whether it constitutes treason. I don't say that it is necessarily intentional, but in this case, intentions are irrelevant in light of the potential results. IANAL (I am not a lawyer). Having said that, let us proceed:
This, according to the 'Lectric Law Library, is the legal definition of treason:
TREASON - This word imports a betraying, treachery, or breach of allegiance.
The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offence is punished with death.
This is the only crime (that I know of) in which the Constitution itself prescribes the death penalty. With a crime and punishment this severe, it is critical that we define our terms clearly. What is aid and comfort?
