This is news!

"I'm scared for the state of democracy in this country in terms of how the press interacts," Kuypers said. "They are, in my opinion, an anti-democratic institution because they stifle alternative voices and paint an incredibly inaccurate picture of issues and ideas."

Based on the fact that the press is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution, it is obvious that the Founding Fathers considered the press to be the eyes and ears of the citizenry. If the public never hears certain news it will undermine our democracy.
