THE PRESS IS AN EVIL FOR WHICH THERE IS NO REMEDY

Can't disagree more. The MSM naturally gravitate towards insipid and simple minded moral posturing, that's what they do. Katie is the shining sore on the leprous body of the MSM, now that Dan has surrendered the crown.

However, with a free press, enough of the truth seeps through to keep the worst abuses of power at bay. The staunchest opponents of a free press in this country today come not from the Right, but the Left, whether it be Hilary wanting to regulate the Internet or congressmen threatening the licenses of radio stations carrying Rush Limbaugh.

The alternative is Castro's Cuba or Soviet Russia.

That was a quote from Thomas Jefferson. Take up your argument with him.
