Members RA1 Posted November 1, 2013 Members Posted November 1, 2013 Government intrusion on the freedom of the press: I would be willing to suppose that in times past that "stories" that seemed fantastic were relegated to secondary publications. Yes, they might be read by some but not necessarily highly regarded by many. I have never thought my next door neighbor was or could be a 3 headed monster regardless of what a grocery store tabloid might "report". However, in this day and time with so much air time and blog space to fill, it is really difficult to know who has been infected by space aliens and who is really trying hard to keep up the "traditional" MSM ethics. I suggest that it is not only difficult for the average reader but also for governments. Of course, today is not the first time governments have tried to clamp down on stories they do not wish reported and it won't be the last but they seem to be running more wild usurping various Constitutional promises or guarantees than ever before (and possibly somewhat getting away with it). Indeed it is a matter for concern. Best regards, RA1 Quote
