We DO have a free press in the country.
What you are suggesting is that the press has an “obligation” to be unbiased, and fair. That is a very recent occurrence. Throughout our country, most newspapers have been based on political positions, for their own readers. They were, for the most part, propaganda pieces.
What is happening today is that the media is reverting to the same biased positions that were in place 100 years ago.
Recognizing the truth is difficult in these days. You should not assume that ANYTHING you read or hear is true. Look for proof. Look for facts.
The problem is that most people have no idea how to find truth.
I pretty much believe the opposite of anything the “Free Press” prints.
One thing is certain they won’t find the truth in the American Press.
