It's their right to do that I guess, but I personally believe strongly in the Constitutional rights we have even if it is unpopular or kitschy to say that. I thought lawyers were people who believed strongly in fighting for their clients' civil rights even if they despise their clients because they think the rights matter. Without them we aren't a democracy.
Dershowitz defending the rights of Nazis to have free speech is a great example of that but I guess that kind of thinking is obsolete now. At least lawyers should stop saying they care about civil rights or democracy in that case.
They're really not though, that's part of their marketing. It seems like there is a long history of news media being used to push agendas, being arrogant, and running politically motivated smear campaigns.
They might occasionally tell the news without opinion but that seems like an added benefit, not their main goal.
What we have now is competition. The replacement for the mainstream media will just be more media and like always, people will have to determine for themselves if something is accurate. It's weird to think you believe our government, our lives, are so fragile that without mainstream media we degenerate into fools led by a strongman.
