The way I see it with many reporters, you make a deal & lie down with the devil you wake up in hell. I don't see that there's a free press at all. The media, espically since 9/11, has been directed what & how to report (with the exception of a handfull holdouts) the news. I no longer believe the word of the media When I want information I search out the news from a host of nations, that's the only way I feel like I can make an informed opinion. The press sucked up to this & went along now their getting sucked in. In my opinion they played the part of a whore & now they're getting fucked by the presidental pimp. Strange that more than 200 yrs ago the founding fathers knew full well the importance of a free press & respected it, today the US press gets no show of respect, they'll receive no fair play & the far reaching effect (IMHO) is that they've paved their own way towards becoming obsolete. Welcome, it's REALLY a brave new world out there now.
