The Founding Fathers put checks and balances everywhere. They gave freedom of the press to the press, thinking that would be their check.

We have an un-free press. They are on a cultural and ideological short leash.

When "Presses" were the dominate method by which information reached the public, this was a sound method. Now that Broadcast media has completely replaced "presses" as the primary means of informing the public, it has become a monopoly completely controlled by left wing partisans.

The media monopoly must be broken, and then we need to create law that will not allow it to every be recreated again. We must ban partisan monopolies of broadcasting systems.
