I’m referring to Freedom of the Press. It’s dead. Unless you follow the narrative.
It’s going to get worse, as the corrupt FCC tries to gag and destroy Conservative viewpoint stations and shows, with a neverending stream of their BS regulations.
The “free press” we grew up with was a product of WWI and WWII. Prior to the 20th century all media outlets were biased to their parties. When you see a paper with the title “Democrat” or “Republican” that was their bias back when they were founded.
The whole “print the truth without bias” stuff is an aberration in American history. The explosion of different media outlets since the start of the internet has pushed us back to those times.
Back then, people were able to discern between “news” and “opinion.” People were able to read a story and actually think about where the facts ended and option started. It seems that lots of folks today cannot do that.
