Re: Freedom of the press!?

Not at all. Didn't you read RED FACE's post? The idea of confidentiality between a journalist and a source is obviously ludicrous. Think - they could be sharing secrets of national security or something! And since people are so deeply affected by the media, we need the government to regulate it. After all, we wouldn't want it to fall into the wrong hands.

Yeah, but its not just that. I mean, obviously there are things that the people are just better off not knowing. Why would we want to burden them with such things, things that would surely only confuse them and lower their quality of life? These things obviously should be kept from them, for their own good, and who better to decide what is in their best interests?
