re: its a serious question...A French newspaper fired it's editior over a stupid cartoon.
Then free enterprise has a challenge doesn't it. Now armed with the truth, those French citizens can choose whether to continue reading the newspaper or not. If they simply stop, the newspaper owner loses his power.
Scott, nobody wants bias in the news but you can't only contend bias when it only appears directed against your own political leanings. Our press works best if there's balance in ownership and strong leadership with the ethic to put solid reporting ahead of their own political interests. Our history has shown that our press is less biased when ownership is spread out in small outlets instead of giant media conglomerates. I don't want either party in the reigns of those large behemoths.
