Right you are,the old media screams about freedom of the press,as long as they're the only ones who own a press.

They're influence on trying to form public opinion is slipping away and their true agenda will become more and more apparent.

The firmness with which the people have withstood the late abuses of the press, the discernment they have manifested between truth and falsehood, show that they may safely be trusted to hear everything true and false, and to form a correct judgment between them.
PRESIDENT THOMAS JEFFERSON,letter to Judge John Tyler, June 28, 1804

As they lose more and more of their power they will only become more extreme. Since most papers only allow letters to the editor from the same person to be published only once a month, where do they expect the people to take the debate?
