I would suspect that that is a different question, whether the press is "free" or not.

Regardless of that, is it not the media's job to examine and explore the candidates? To both report their activities as objectively as possible as well as editorialize with opinions?
This is exactly my point in that we are not getting objective reporting of the political candidates. As you said yourself, our news has become commercialized and is no longer provided for the public good but with corporate interests in mind. Please tell me what is "free" of outside influence about that?

Ustwo, do you have a point of some kind?
