The "deep state" encompasses so much more then just the civil service, the military, and the intelligence agencies. 

The U.S. deep state includes the revolving door between government and big banks, Wall Street, big pharma, giant defense contractors - and last, but certainly not least - a totally corrupted MSM that has devolved into a propaganda machine that would have made Goebbels envious. 

And as this latest bit of propaganda demonstrates, the bird-cage liner that is the G&M is right there with the rest of the MSM sycophants, cheerleading for the deep state.
