De-pressed

[Unkotare]

A free, impartial press is essential to democracy. Does anyone think we still have one? NBC 'moderates' a Republican debate with questions essentially of the sort "tell us why you suck so bad that no one should vote for you or anyone in your party." The obama administration is shamelessly going full-on Vietnam with a creeping, hypocritical "boots on the ground" mission in Syria despite all their bloviating to the contrary some months ago, and the 'press' is only hugging his nuts and saying what they are damn well told to say - yet again. A very important piece of the democracy puzzle has been missing for some time, and the potential consequences could be dire indeed.

Well I for one am impressed you are finally questioning the two most corrupt forces in our world that being government and the press.

The importance of a free and truthful press is necessary for the future of the country.

That it does not exist explains the high poll numbers for such unqualified candidates like Trump and Carson.

If we had a press that actually informs the public there would be no Tea Party. If voters were informed the political scene would look radically different.

Warf...

Democracy depends on a free press

 

[williepete]

Couple the death of responsible journalism with an ignorant electorate and it's no small wonder this country is going down the tubes.

IF we has a free and truthful press the Tea Party would NOT have the rep you just claimed. NO Tea Party rally has ever resulted in riots, rapes or other crime.

OWS on the other hand had lots of those complaints but the "free and honest" never pointed that out.

There's no such thing as a free press, all newspapers are owned by someone with an agenda.

But agenda is the content of their free speech.

Does holding your answer make it seem more important to you?

Define "holding" if it means keeping silent on what you think then that is controlled press.

Well, look at that! You must be experiencing a lucid interval, as you are actually making sense today!

How long until this thread degenerates into you accusing everyone of being a homo?

So who is the Tea Party? Why they are a bunch of people that believe our government should operate according to the US Constitution.

25 years ago those people would be considered patriots. Today, the left considers them extremists.
