    I’m about as anti-corporation a person as you’ll find, but I don’t think we should be cheering the death of the Free Press. I know it’s edgy to say “it’s already here”, but that’s just not accurate. When true journalists are gone, the only thing left will be propaganda.

      You think the billionaire owned press is free? Some smaller independents may deserve support but that isn’t major companies.

        Did I say I support billionaire owned press? “Free press”, or the 4th pillar of democracy is a concept. When done correctly, it keeps authorities in check by openly and honestly reporting what is happening with real facts and information.
