Should the Media be regulated?

Absolute power corrupts absolutely

There is a slip­pery sloop that defies imag­i­na­tion, its called free­dom of speech but what hap­pens when the media becomes so cor­rupt­ed that free­dom is lost?

When you watch as the media open­ly engage in hate, deri­sion, divi­sion and the type of behav­ior designed to divide a nation, you have to won­der is this real­ly the free­dom of speech that the found­ing fathers talked about in the Con­sti­tu­tion?

There is a heart of dark­ness in the media that must be cut out or we may well face the ruin of this nation and it will be at the hands of a very small per­cent­age of the pop­u­la­tion.  At what point does the free­dom of the press become the oppres­sion of the peo­ple?  It is true that in the past the free­dom of the press was some­thing that was required and need­ed.  In fact we still need it, how­ev­er were not get­ting that kind of sit­u­a­tion now.  What were get­ting now is a kind of heart­less­ness, that should nev­er be allowed to grow in the press, it is a cor­rupt­ing can­cer, a dark soul-less evil that only has one goal to destroy human­i­ty.

“There is no worse tyran­ny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want mere­ly because you think it would be good for him.”
