[Captain Kirk]

An "abusive media" is the price we pay for liberty. I'll take that any day of the week over putting my trust in the fickle "good intentions" of the feds. Ronald Reagan used to get a great laugh from conservatives when he said: "We're from the government. We're here to help you." Now....I suspect that the audiences of conservatives, who have learned to trust big brother as long as he is "one of them") would sit in stone silence at this joke. They either "wouldn't get it" or, worse, wouldn't care.

That holds as much validity as saying " An abusive government is the price we pay for liberty"

If you cared about truth or equality you would expect BOTH entities to be on the up and up and would support both being held to the same standards of checks and balances in order to prosecute the fight against bias.

This statement by you says alot about your basic position. Maybe someday you will broaden your scope and see the error in what you had to say.
