I have to disagree.
The "information age" has become the "disinformation age"
If only we could return to the days when R. Edward Murrow and the NY Times filtered all information to that which the party approved, it would be grand.
All these Fox and Internet usurpers letting people find out things that the party doesn't approve of must be stopped.
It is far to easy for people to cloister themselves into little echo chambers where they only hear like-minded people telling them only what they want to know - like Fox News (and MSNBC I'm told) does.
Thinking people try to get both sides of the story. You like far left sources such as Slate, and think that opposing views must be crushed, or at least strongly suppressed.
I look at what the state run media puts out, and what the opposition press puts out. From there, I can make an intelligent choice.
People are not forced to listen to anyone else's opinion and way too many choose not to. They don't understand what is happening in the world around them and they have little to no chance to grow and learn.
Then why is it you seek to silence Fox?
Ah, because dissent is not to be tolerated.
I think people were actually much better served when their were fewer media outlets and those outlets did a much better job of presenting all sides of an issue.
Of course you do, a captive people are best controlled by limiting access to information.
The party will decide what we need to know.
