Thanks for posting a thread that can be considered seriously.

The media falls short of the ideal in most cases, but freedom of the press is absolutely essential to the survival of our freedom.

It is pretty frightening that Rupert Murdock is buying so many media outlets. For all the shouting about leftists journalists I find a lot more media is owned by rightists who will stifle stories that do not fit their ideas of correct politics.

There is a movement politically right now to allow big money folks to buy more and more radio and tv stations. This is a real threat to our freedom.
