Seriously people GE, Time Warner, Viacom, News Corp, Clear Channel, Sinclair, and but a few others control most of the media outlets in this country and their motivation whether it be in their "news" departments or outside of it - is not free speech.

It's also a matter of supply and demand, the general public doesn't demand news.

Yes, lets let the government control all the media. It worked so well for Stalin, Putin, Kim Jung Il, Mao Ze Dong and of course Hitler
