The corporate news media will never reform itself as long as their corporate owners have an incentive to push one candidate (usually the Democrat) over the other. Our founders didn`t specifically protect the press so they could deliberately lie and misrepresent the facts to the citizenry. We need to seriosly start a discussion about prohibiting corporate ownership of hard news outlets. Hard news outlets should be required to be stand alone entities, not owned by some other entity that could influence its agenda. We have anti-trust laws. In a similar vein, it is entirely appropriate to enact this type of regulation for an institution which is one of the bedrocks for any well einformed democracy. I`m not talking about censorship, but rather ownership reform to try to limit the use of `news` to promote a self-serving agenda.

DITTO !
