When we as a people can not trust our media sources to tell us the facts, the truth, our democracy is in danger.
How can we vote intelligently when we don't get the truth to make a good decision from ? We Can't.
There is no danger worse than the control of our media by big corporate interests. There is no danger worse for US as a 'Democratic Country"
It is a perilous path to try to fix this problem without risking 'free speech'....but to pass a law that makes it illegal to tell or repeat lies, or to give slanted news, with penalities is the only way I can see to prevent the downward spiral that we seem to be headed for.
The radio and television stations are using public airwaves to promote private opinions....they should be made to call them opinions and not news then..
