Those who do not trust the media...

This made me chuckle for the irony that we complain about the media while continuing to check it every day for the latest information.

You're most welcome, thanks for the cartoon, it made me smile!

FH, journalism has always had its critics, and its faults. What has always been the case is that it is incumbent upon the readers to critically assess each piece they read for what isn't said, for what the opposite view could be, for what angle/bias/blind spot the writer could have. I am highly skeptical of your claim that "90% of reporters are Democrats" - do you have a source for that stat? There are good sources and there are bad ones, if people took a little more responsibility then we wouldn't have so much of the crap we do have now for "news." All that being said, it still doesn't negate that our free press is absolutely required for our democracy and that for all its faults and people's complaints, we still read them every day. That's why I shared this cartoon, to make you smile and maybe have a small ah-ha moment.

Anyone in our government who complains about them publicly is suspect in trying to subvert our democratic processes. They can dislike them all they like, but the instant they enter into public service, they must accept that the press is there to keep an eye on them and report on what they do and say. Our Founding Fathers specifically built into the constitution freedom of the press because it is that important.
