You want me to be gentle with you, after a line like that?

Would you, could you, be gentle with me?

I agree with you about the MSM being accountable for their words. If, there is not a way to do it, then we should vote into law a way to make them accountable.

I agree. I don't think rights come without responsibilities. You have the right to drive a car but if don't do so responsibly that right can be taken away from you. It should be the same with free speech. You have the right present a news segment or print a newspaper article but that right should be taken away if it can be proven that you misrepresented facts intentionally.

We just went through a horrible election cycle where the majority of the media blatantly shilled for on candidate and presented it as "news." The good news they did such a poor job of appearing unbiased many people's eyes were opened to the situation.

Hopefully people don't forget the lessons that we've learned. Fox's numbers keep trending up and more people are turning to the Internet to verify news stories for themselves.
