    No. Today they are much more open about taking a side.

    That is clearly false. I don't believe it is possible to say the press is not massively hard left. And that their "news" is representative of reality.

    Give it a shot. I won't laugh to loud.

    I thought you were an elderly adult. Why do you communicate like a toddler?

    Disagree. Let the free market do its thing.

    I don't even watch TV any more, but I certainly wouldn't go back to it if the fairness doctrine was in place.

    Free market hasn't worked out too well. Just look at the state of Journalism we are in over the past 20 years; people complain how slanted and unfair it is. IMO you will not get objective reporting.

    Did you quote the wrong post? I never said the press doesn’t represent the “hard left” or that they always report the truth.

    Pick up a history book. They were always open about taking sides. Even during John Adams’ tenure as president, major newspapers took sids between him and Jefferson.
