[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's Fourth Estate not Column, and refers to journalists and business of journalism.

Third Estate= Commoners 
Fourth Estate=Journalists

The Fifth Column refers to revolutionaries, rabble-rousers that work secretly or in a clandestine fashion within an organization or country.

From Wikipedia (fast and easy to grasp):
A fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group from within, usually in favor of an enemy group or nation. The activities of a fifth column can be overt or clandestine. Forces gathered in secret can mobilize openly to assist an external attack. This term is also extended to organized actions by military personnel. Clandestine fifth column activities can involve acts of sabotage, disinformation, or espionage executed within defense lines by secret sympathizers with an external force.[/quote]

You are correct about my mistake about the Fourth Estate. Thank you for correcting my error. [/quote]
