Oh but "we" do; after WW2, freedom of the press was held in extremely high regard. It was only after a few decades and American interference (e.g. Rupert Murdoch's network) that the press became more and more political, pushing an Agenda. All bets were off when the internet came around.

Anyway, during WW2 the press was controlled by the occupants (and before, possibly influenced?), so after WW2 we said never again. We still take the piss on newspapers that cooperated with the invaders instead of fold.
