Excuse me the news media are not our enemy. My son's father-in-law grew up in Russia and I asked him
point blank could you say what you wanted in the college cafeteria? He said no most times not. I can put up with the
"Stormy" sexcapades etc if I get honest information and know what crazy stuff is being done. Freedom of the press
is a key to our freedom. And attacking it as fake news is the first step towards a dictatorship. What we have done without
Edward R Murrow and Walter Cronkite and today Rachel Maddow who had a pipeline to all the bad stuff going on.
Fox has been proven to be not accurate 70% of the time. But I can put up with that. A free press is a free country.

I have issues with bias in the press. Yes, they should be free to say what they want but not without disclosing their bias as well although that is self evident with their stories. What I really have an issue with is when one group attempts to silence anyone who they disagree with.
