“The American press is extraordinarily free and vigorous, as it should be. It should be, not because it is free of inaccuracy, oversimplification and bias, but because the alternative to that freedom is worse than those failings.”

I'm not quite sure how to rate this — a thumb's down for the propaganda, hiding the corporate MSM to be nothing more than theocratic dogma slaves of the corporate government (or vise versa) or a thumbs down for the incorrect observation for an extraordinarily free and vigorous . . .  I say hmmm

I agree that the alternative to a free press is worse than its failings, but the mainstream press (CBS, NBC, ABC, Washington Post, New York Times, etc.) have been nothing but propaganda since their inception. 

The independent media of today is their sworn enemy, and every effort to impose 'hate speech' and 'misinformation' controls is aimed at shutting down true journalism exposing the widespread racketeering of our supposed representatives.
