My point is that the press IS free, they've simply chosen - freely - to align themselves with a particular point of view... no one is compelling thm to do that.

Every news media source is biased in some way

the headline "Man kills 12 in shooting" while factual doesn't get the masses stirred up

bias the headline to read "Crazed (enter ethnicity here) man guns down 12 in rampage..." while still factual has introduced bias and will garner much more "interest" from the sheeple that need their opinions feed to them

totally agree.

There is a huge difference between "reporting" and "recording" events.

It's possible that the overlooked cause of disatisfaction with our freedom of the press is really about individuals disliking editorials more than actual news coverage. Anyone desiring the shut down or limitation of opposing views/opinions does not appreciate the value of this freedom.

Easy solution. Turn off you GODD*MN TV's and radios and start thinking for yourselves. This was directed at no one in particular, just a blanket statement.

I kinda need to be told what to think.

I mean, I have always been told to vote either Demican or Republicrat, so I always do.....and it has worked out great so far.
