Separation of Powers
The American court system was never meant to play out in a public arena. The separation of powers exists in our Constitution for a reason. People
serving in the legislative branch shouldn’t make public comments about an active case examined by the judicial branch. Furthermore, the head of the executive branch the president shouldn’t comment about an ongoing case, regardless of whether the jury had been sequestered for deliberation or not.
At the very least, Representative Maxine Waters stoked racial flames in an already contentious trial and President Biden set the stage for protests if the jury didn’t make what he called “the right decision.” Neither of those input channels has any place in our judicial system.
The current political climate in the U.S. is defined by heightened partisanship. Media bias is prevalent and pernicious, and content posted to social media platforms tends to alienate certain groups and unintentionally detract from the cause it represents.
Because content thatâs interacted with the most tends to yield the highest monetary returns, content creators are encouraged to post attention-grabbing content at the expense of credibility. Beyond the influence of money in the media, those with sincere hopes to influence public opinion are also inclined to cater to the interests of media consumers looking for interesting content to interact with. Unfortunately, what tends to make content interesting is inflammatory language that raises emotions and pits different groups against each other.
