I'm not saying there isn't thousands of other different sources or good media sources, but for the general american, its all about bipartisan politics, has this destroyed the integrity the media once had?
Should the media be forced to report the top 5 or 6 policial partys in america to accurately give the average voter some real insite? Should all these national debates include them as well? I think so.
This isn't suppose to be an electoral dictatorship, its suppose to be a representative democracy!
Why did the Repubs get rid of the Fairness in media doctrine if the majority of the media is liberal? Sorta like shooting themselves in the foot.stsburns said:How can Repubs control the media? There are more Lib newspapers and TV stations than Reps, which most people actually read and watch. While Reps have Radio and Fox News?
Ever took on Time Warner! They are in a major need for a government regulation. Every time I look they either bought another company, or merged with another company to control a certain market.scottyz said:I think bringing back the fairness in media doctrine and limiting the amount of media companies one can own are necessary.

Limiting the amount of media companies one can own is against the 1st amendment? I know the rights whole strategy has been to buy up the media and make sure there was nothing to prevent them from putting their slant on it. It's not a free press when one side has a stranglehold on it.Stinger said:So you don't believe in the first amendment.
So you wouldn't vote for anyone who wanted government control of the media such as internet news blogs and such?

The media only thinks for those who want to save themselves the bother of having to think.
