TV people fool themselves into thinking they're exposing liars with tough questions, but they're actually disserving their audiences by foisting liars on them. What does the news outlet get out of it? Well, the liar shows up and makes the news outlet seem important. It's a collaboration of sorts.

I  didn’t press them and try to convince them that I was going to make some profound difference. I wasn’t sure myself. I only hope that it was made clear that [an encampment cleaning] is not an insurmountable natural disaster. They are human beings working mundane jobs for the city who have become apathetic and dispassionate over time, and who need to be reminded that carelessness, neglect, and shortcuts in their line of work are a material act of violence on the residents of encampments. I know [the workers] were annoyed and inconvenienced by my presence. I only hope that later they asked themselves why someone who isn’t being paid would choose to spend their day at a homeless encampment filming the city doing a routine encampment sweep.

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.
Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself, in all cases, as the ages and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave, is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies. Man has no property in man; neither has any generation a property in the generations which are to follow. The parliament or the people of 1688, or of any other period, had no more right to dispose of the people of the present day, or to bind or to controul them in any shape whatever, than the parliament or the people of the present day have to dispose of, bind or controul those who are to live a hundred or a thousand years hence. Every generation is, and must be, competent to all the purposes which its occasions require. It is the living, and not the dead, that are to be accommodated.
