A second function of the media is to serve as a watchdog over government and other powerful institutions in the society. By holding to a standard of independence and objectivity, however imperfectly, the news media can expose the truth behind the claims of governments and hold public officials accountable for their actions." http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pub...rief/media.htm I am disappointed but not surprised. |

Your ability to reduce a civil discussion into name calling is also typical of the socialist mentality. Have a nice day, David. |
