I agree with your second point, but not your first. IMHO we have a free press, but not a fair press, which I think your second statement addresses. Arguable, but I still hold to my conviction that our current media are so hostile to conservative views that they suppress any mention. That makes it an un-free press. The evening news is more of a commentary than actual reporting.

But honestly, why do you resist conceding to a point that is so blatantly obvious?

Remember back in 2014 when Obama wanted to put political monitors in the newsrooms. If that had succeeded, we would no longer have a free press, and as you write, we certainly don't have a fair press now.
