Replies should be:

Media. Then go on to explain why.

or...

Government. Then go on to explain why

Government or the Media: What’s the difference?

[Servant of the Cross]

The media. It is their job, the reason for their existance, to tell the truth, report the facts, objectively.

[Responsibility2nd]

I’ll take that as a ‘No Opinion’.

The Govt. or the Media. Which is worse?

They are one and the same.

[Mr. K]

The media, because it is supposed to be reporting ON the government, not cheerleading it.

The Government would be taken care of by the citizens, if they were being told the truth.

[Responsibility2nd]

But if we had a government committed to telling the truth and reporting the facts, then wouldn’t the press follow suit?

[Responsibility2nd]

Another ‘No Opinion’.

[Vaquero]

Under the current regime, The MSM, IS the State Run Media.

One and the same.

The "Fourth Estate" is the Fifth Column.

Has been for the last 60 years.

They are both sock puppets on the hands of the same actor. They are both evil and bent on control of the people and the destruction of American culture and values.

They are one and the same. Look at the following people. Chris Matthews. Tim Russet. Jay Carney. Tony Snow. George Stephanopolous. David Gergen. All either political aides who went into journalism or vice versa.

Then there are Andrea Mitchell and others who are married to people in government.

The media. They’re supposed to police both sides, the whole thing by reporting truth, facts. Republicans and Democrats have agendas and they’ll tell you so. Most of the media also have an agenda but won’t.

[bgill]

The media. If the media doesn’t report what the government is doing or lies about what the government is doing then the people won’t know what’s going on.

[Responsibility2nd]

I guess I wasn’t clear. Not looking for “all the same” answers. Just a little mental exercise as to which one is worse. And why

[okie01]

The media.

Here's why:

The USA is threatened by three enemies. They are:

1. Domestic left-wing, anti-American radicals.

2. Radical Islamist terrorists.

3. The so-called Mainstream Media.

And, of these three, the latter is the most damaging. Because, were it not for the support of the MSM, the other two enemies would've been defeated years ago.

Government. They confiscate our wealth and then use it against us. They operate with the force of law. The media do not.

[sarasota]

Those days are over. Objectivity in reporting is gone.
