Freedom of the press!?

[RED FACE]

I've heard of lawyer-client privilege but not "journalistic confidentiality". The government must regulate the media just like they regulate money in campaigns because it is such a powerful force. Media conglomerates should be broken up to an extreme degree to prevent undue influence. Also, only citizens should be allowed to own them.

Also, maybe it would be a good idea for journalists to belong to some organization in which they say an oath like doctors. Like, "will make every effort to remove any personal bias in my reports and strive to inform rather than educate".
