Wow! This is sick. These talking heads are losing viewers and power so they call for a “gatekeeper.” I refuse to pay for cable because I receive accurate news for free on the internet. I encourage everyone to cancel their cable and subscribe to Netflix or watch Hulu if they must consume the garbage television has to offer. I refuse to listen to these opponents of free speech on CNN.

CNN is joke and the more they talk the more they hang themselves with hypocrisy. They sure seem jealous of freedom.

Regardless of political views, these sorts of veiled cries for censorship should be not only cause for concern but met with stiff opposition that puts its money where its mouth is.

I not only have stopped watching newscasts, I cancelled my Dish Network subscription. Most people do not realize that cable and satellite subscriptions directly put money into the pockets of many TV networks whether one tunes them in or not.

I wish “journalists” would just become reporters. Report the news as it happened without the “journalistic license” that pervaded main stream media. I’ve found our local news here in Phoenix gets into the act of “spinning” the news to a certain political bent. Just remember most news casts are written for an 8th or 9th grade level.

Are yoAre you kidding me CNN? Main stream news has become nothing short of a circus with bits and pieces being reported on all the time and sometimes for nothing other than political gain.

The BBC is the only news source that I’ll watch because it actually covers news in greater depth and with more honesty. Bloggers today are able to provide their opinion on a anything and everything which is what people are truly looking for, a prespective.

I have not watched any news program since 911 and see no value in it. It’s sad that the CNN’s and Fox’s of the industry still don’t have a clue as to how to turn there failing market around.

Blogging is freedom of speech. Instead of going after bloggers, go after Fox News for their inability to report the entire story as they spew there political agenda to the masses.

Bloggers are already “held accountable” by the same civil and criminal laws that govern everyone else. I don’t think they need an additional set of restrictions.
