Surely
Mick Hall is dreaming. A free press, what the hell
is that? If the 'press' can't expose the lies told
by the current US administration, come on, an impartial
free press in Iraq? Don't you know 'they' SHOOT those
guys over there.
Major
media outlets operate on government granted licences.
In today's money grubbing, suck at the taxpayer's
pork-barrel world, what media mogul wants to report
"unbiased", less than flattering reports
on their government or stormtroopers.....er, sorry,
freedom angels, and risk losing their monopoly.
Good
Morning Vietnam.
