The reason I ask, is because several news stories recently have had facts that have later been proven false. The one that is most alarming is the Jena Six storyline, I have heard from real sources, complete and totally opposite stories. I am not interested in arguing about which ones are true, what I am interested in is do you think its ok for the media to give false information yet remain immune under the guise of free speech? In this situation, the newspaper that lied caused one of two things, either they inflamed racial hostility with a misleading story that makes whites look racist, or, the other newspaper slandered 6 kids. Personally I think the media has gone too far. Liars should be put out of business. Problem is I dont know which is true, and neither does anybody else, except maybe the people that live there, and they might not even know at this point.
