Thanks to those who try to explain what is happening to the American press to the public...so many people can't comprehend how dangerous these policies are to a democracy

What a bunch of gibberish. The only media that is suffering is the good old boy network of newspapers from coast to coast who print the same AP garbage stories. CNN and the old "big three" networks largely regurgitate the same exact product.

It's not some magical "winds of change" that has all of you quaking in your penny loafers. It's your lack of integrity and willfulness to report only one side of issues that concern everyday Americans.
