- monocasa 8y agoCan you point to a free press at any time in our history that wasn't a corporation with a political agenda?

- dragonwriter 8y ago> It's not a free press when that press is a corporation with a political agenda. If it's a corporation with a political agenda, sure, that's an issue (though not of an absence of free press, just an inability to serve the purpose of having a free press); when it's a multitude of corporations with a diversity of political and financial agendas, less so. OTOH, "freedom of the press" is not "immunity of people who publish information from all law", either.
