New York Times: Letting People Vote Undermines Democracy - newsbusters.org
Excerpt from this article:
“Voters must make their decisions with relatively little information,
forcing them to rely on political messaging — which puts power in the
hands of political elites rather than those of voters,' Taub and Fisher
contend, apparently suggesting that it is only by preventing the public
from voting on an issue that they can be properly empowered. Ironically,
their chief examples of 'dangerous' referendums are the Brexit vote and
the Colombian peace treaty referendum, both of which involved voters
defying the wishes sitting political elites."

If you don't already have contempt for the New York Times (and the rest of the liberal media), check out the following 4 books by Bernie Goldberg:
Bias - a CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distorts the News
Arrogance - Rescuing America From the Media Elite
A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media
100 People Who Are Screwing Up America
But before you go through the trouble of reading these three great books, check out the following quote from insider-elite David Rockefeller's Memoirs:
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time
Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our
meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40
years......It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for
the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during
those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march
towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an
intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the
national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.” - David Rockefeller (Memoirs)
If you're not quite sure what Mr. Rockefeller is talking about here, read my post: A History of the Council on Foreign Relations...In Our Time!
Finally, here is one last quote from the late Walter Cronkite, who America's main source of news from 1962 to 1981:
"It
seams to many of us, that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic
world conflict, we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step
toward a world government patterned after our own government with a
legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its
international laws and keep the peace. To do that, of course, we
Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That would be a
bitter pill. It would take a lot of courage, a lot of faith in the new
world order. Pat Robertson has written in a book a few years ago that we
should have a world government but only when the Messiah arrives. He
wrote, literally, any attempt to achieve world order before that time
must be the work of the devil. Well, join me. I'm glad to sit here at
the right hand of Satan." - Walter Cronkite (Source)
