One of the greatest inventions was type because it allowed people to communicate with one another.
The media has misused its privilege in so many ways, but, to throw out everything because of a few words printed on a piece of paper would undermine a free society. It is not the misuse of the media that is wrong with a free society it's the straight and narrow path that many societies have that diminish the concept of free speech.
The matter of a press being misused and blowing everything out of proportion eventually filters out. The Internet is popular because we as subscribers get to interact with published events through our blogging and comments. Abusive speech is countered with more speech. If something is wrong, speak out or don't buy that publication. Hit the delete button.
But, under no circumstances should the government interfere, eliminate or censor free speech.

Our history books would be totally out of control. Many believe they are now, but it would be worse. At least today a person can compare all the details to make decisions.

People would get no information about what was going on in the rest of the world, which is bad, but they would also get no mis-information, which is good.

Richard M. Nixon would be the Emperor of U.S.A.
Maybe of the World.
Think about it.
