The only security of all is in a free press
To bad the press in America is owned and operated by the Democrat Political Party....
It would be nice to have a free press.........
Helen Thomas’s is a “liberal true believer” She actually believes the propaganda as the gospel truth.
She has yet to fully awaken that the people in charge are fascists in Liberal clothing.
She will be first against the wall.
Uhhhh -—you havent heard any more from Helen about that have you??
Dont worry you wont either.
Thanks, Helen. After trashing the United States for 200 years, you finally figure it out!
The passing of Walter Cronkite only revisited my fears the press has sold out for political access and its own agenda. Cronkite’s left-leaning politics were completely unknown to his audience. Growing up I was never aware he had views. However, I was incredibly aware he possessed a heart.
Bullcrap! Cronkite always let his leftist (NOT "left-leaning") politics into his stories. That's why they were stories and not news.
Journalists have historically possessed a liberal viewpoint. A truth well known and accepted, which up until now has done little to hinder an ability to report events accurately and objectively.
Baloney again! The so-called journalists wouldn't be in the position they are in if they just reported objectively and accurately.
The advent of the Internet has delivered a new voice onto the scene. It is not journalism, but a distant facsimile by a group of citizen-journalists who do not possess the information or education necessary to fully comprehend a profession they profess.
They may not be "educated" enough for you but they did a better job of catching a "professional" journalist trying to foist off forged documents by completely unreliable source (that had been declared "unimpeachable").
The MSM is a waste of time.
This is a good article on the press but I have a problem with these contradictory lines.
“Journalism is not solely reporting the news factually and accurately. It is divorcing oneself from its content, rendering no opinion even when your very soul is aching to scream at an injustice or evil. It is a far cry from the job of a reporter to seek out and uncover evil, and the law’s responsibility to judge and punish the wrongdoing.”
“Our forefathers understood the importance of supporting a free press responsible for keeping politicians honest. They knew so great was the potential for corruption among politicians it necessitated inclusion of a free press as the watchdog of democracy in our United States Constitution.”
These are contradictory. You can’t be a watchdog and reserve all opinion and judgment of what is right and what is wrong.
Oh I get it, Rule #1 is for covering the left and Rule #2 is for covering the right.
