The press should act like an impartial referee or an umpire, calling violations of the game as they see them, not taking sides with one team over another. The left wing pro Democrat media is not fulfilling its role as an impartial critic. When this happens, the “game” itself gets damaged.
That’s whats happening to the country right now. Truth and objectivity are casualties of outrageous media bias.
The FCC licenses stations to broadcast and I believe has the power to revoke those licenses if the companies engage in improper or irresponsible activities. Maybe we need something like that for the newspapers as well. When 90% of “news” coverage is obviously negative, if not outright propaganda, there ought to be some sanctions imposed.
Yep, newspapers and tv news should be monitored. Opinion shows are O.K. but need to advertise that. And running anonymous op-eds should be banned.
