Earlier today I was watching Link TV, and they were covering how journalists at Fox 13 were going to report on the dangerous nature of rGPH when the higher ups tried to coerce, threaten, and bribe them and then they were fired, all because they wanted to tell the truth. To speak truth to power (where is that from?). They actually managed to win a lawsuit, but it was dismissed in appeal because the court basically said "The news does not have any legal obligation to be truthful". I respectfully disagree with that travesty of justice.
We have free media in the Bill of Rights to so that muzzles could not be applied by those in power. It's a damn shame that there isn't an amendment requiring that news cannot be falsified or edited, or barring media from corporate control.
