Each of the words that this question hints at are not 'bad words' in fact their usage is Constitutionally protected in the United States and many countries around the world.

What made direct democracy so successful?
I would argue that direct democracy is not successful at all. In a true democracy every legal citizen would have an equal say in EVERY decision made. What we have here in the United States is not a true democracy. We have a mix of direct democracy and elected representatives. Some drawbacks to a complete democracy would include; decisions take alot of time and in times of war we need quick action, my ten year old brother would have just as much say in the functionings of our government as a US senator, and it would be a tyrannic rule by the majority-51% of the population could force the other 49% to do whatever they please.
If journalists are meant to have a role in the function of democracy how are they accountable and who elects them?
Journalists help protect democracy by keeping the government honest by reporting on the actions of government and making governments actions open for all to see and read about. They are accountable though their reputations and readerships, and also through their editor and the hierarchy in whatever company they work for. It is true that they aren't elected, but not everyone in a democracy is elected, Judges aren't elected and that is viewed as a positive in democracy.
Government in which leaders have absolute power and citizens have no rights?
