Whom does the media wrongly criticize?

What nation does your mind conjure when you hear the word “Surrender”? Perhaps, like me, you think of a nation more preoccupied with smelly cheese, fine wines, and a 3-week bike race. A nation that in the 1880s gifted us the symbol of independence and liberty that stands with her torch held high to this very day—the French. But I contend we are wrong to criticize the French. Someday soon we may need to completely recant such judgments. You see, it is the French that are playing the long game. The Statue of Liberty—gifted to the U.S. as a goodwill gesture—may be a military secret lying in wait. Russians are rumored to have sleeper agents, activated upon hearing an otherwise meaningless phrase. The Greeks had the Trojan Horse. What do you get when you combine these two stealth military methods? Someday the great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren of those initial Trojan Horse Frenchmen will be activated from within the great statue via some magical phrase. Rumor has it the activating phrase is “Stand Back and Stand By.” Fortunately, it must be said in French with a late 19th century accent, virtually unheard of today.
