And I'm just pointing out that the same rules of capitalism that you want applied to yourself should apply to everyone - including the MSM.So what you'r
So what you're saying is that businesses should have restrictions that ensure that they don't violate the public interest...correct?I still don't get the logic behind shaming "fence sitters". If we were all "fence sitters" we'd have a lot better government.
I think we'd have a better government with a more non-biased MSM who is less motivated by money than they are honesty. We ween what all the Presidents went through, their family, even children at times. Who wants to subject themselves and their loved ones to all that in order to win a government job?
I thought you were a capitalist? Why would a capitalist think that the MSM should not be motivated by money? Isn't the free market sacred to you?
Or is your idea of capitalism a free market for a select few, while the rest are supposed to be good little slaves that only exist to serve you?
But I do agree - anyone that WANTS to be President has to be CRAZY and should be automatically barred from the position (Catch 22).
The Presidency should be filled by conscripture only.
They can still make money without lying to the people or exaggerating stories. It seems that politics has seeped into every nook and cranny in our society today including the press. Years ago before cable television, the media did lean left, but they didn't lie about the right either. They didn't tell only part of the story, they also told the part of the story that explained the Republicans position.
Today the MSM is more or less to brainwash people. You can read the results in USMB. We have leftists out here blaiming a Republican President for Democrats destroying Democrat cities, all because of what a cop in another Democrat city did to a black guy. Nobody with an ounce of common sense can come to that conclusion. It's brainwashing that does it.

CNN, MSNBC said ‘racist’ more than 4,100 times from July 14-21
CNN and MSNBC said the word “racist” more than 4,100 times from July 14-21, according to a tally by Grabien Media, an online media production and news prep service.The tally is based on…thehill.com
"Freedom of the Press is for those who own one"
I didn't say that either. Just pointing out we would have better candidates to choose from if the MSM was not like it is today. I'm also pointing out how politicized our media is.
I, on the other hand, believe that there should be regulation to ensure that all business do not violate the public's interest.
Right. And how capitalism does that is called ... competition.
What you want to do is have the retarded kid grade the advanced math student's homework. Yeah, politicians and bureaucrats are going to make markets work better. You're just drowning in kool-aid, Vladimir
If you worship the free market, then by definition government intervention will always be bad.
But if you're concerned with humanity and such concepts as fairness, then the free market is secondary and government is the best mechanism for managing the market.
You can not truly have a free market unless it's a fair market, any more than you can have freedom without law and order.
BTW- I can guarantee that just about every politician in this country (except Trump) has a better understanding of economics than you.
