More than a little truth in what you say Sally. But as to your point about being kept in check??
I dunno, Sally, I really don't. I will tell you two reason. With the rise of the Progressives (please say you see this in the Democrat Party) the power of the old style Liberal is waning if in fact they really had ANY power outside of the Democrat Party. The Big tech heads are Progressives and not Liberals (Zuckerberg and Dorsey for example are in the tank for Progressives and Progressive causes and against Conservatives but no more than the heads of Reddit or Google or any of the other Silicon Giants). Nor in media.
If the Democrat Party debates had the Liberals Gabbard and Delaney polling well against Biden and whackos like Warren and Sanders up in the polls. There is plenty of others. Castro, O'Rourke and such
The Democrats are promoting crazy ideologues. The true believers. I suspect Harris, Buttigeig, and Gillibrand are simply saying what people want to hear.
The second thing though is the efforts to consistent deplatform, censor, ban and false report the "wrong voices"
If it was only the non-powered populace , that would be one thing. It is not that
