The Press, who are they?
Posted by albertaken on Wed, 10/15/2008 - 10:59am inThis election will go down in history as the election that exposed the "Press" for not being the "Press". Are they really nothing but party organs? TV, radio and "Newspapers" are they clearly in the hands of the 2 ruling parties? Where are the journalist? are they nothing but party members? Is the nation now endangered because of the people in the "Press"? Are there laws to protect the us from them? And who are those people in the behind the curtains? So whats the deal?

“A free press can of course be good or bad, but, most certainly, without freedom it will never be anything but bad. . . . Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better, whereas enslavement is a certainty of the worse.”
Albert Camus
“The press is the best instrument for enlightening the mind of man, and improving him as a rational, moral and social being”
Thomas Jefferson
Theres no such thing as fair and balance reporting. Obama's campaign basically controls the media. They don't even have 3rd parties in debates how do you call that fair and balanced journalism or even a country that has freedom of speech.

Let's demand fair journalism and bring back the fairness doctrine to force the media to cover what's important to average income folks in our country

They're the ones who kissed up enough to (1) stay alive, (2) keep their jobs, (3) sell their souls.
Surely some real investigative journalists remain, however, and are blogging. Could even be some here, on BTM.
