The event in which the media is corrupted and owned by a political party. The press acts as a check and balance in our government system. I believe the press should not have direct intimate business relationships with political parties, ie they draft their hosts and reporters directly out of the administration, and vice versa. The press is intended to remain impartial as a whole. Of course there will be bias and leanings, but to intentionally mislead, withhold, and obfuscate the truth for the sole purpose of saving a party and by that their career is a huge problem. Administrations (Obama) that refuse to disclose or call on reporters of a particular network or bias, and close them out of all information. If reporters don't do as the administration asks, they black list them. This is not freedom of the press, it's tyranny.Originally posted by Nash B.

To expand on what CJ is saying, there is still technically freedom of the press, but the major outlets are now in a de facto state of being state sponsored press. Let's see, who else has had the major media outlets in their country only singing the praises of the current government..."It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."Comment

......the former chief of staff to former IRS Commissioner Steven Miller, Nikole Flax, visited the White House 35 times after talking with former head of tax exempt groups Lois Lerner about working to criminally prosecute conservative tea party groups for "lying" about political activity. At the White House, Flax met with a top Obama aid during some of those visits.
