If that was all we had it would be total manipulation of our thinking so freedom of the press is good. You can't make people think which, as I see it, is the thrust of your question. Only half the people are above average the other half is below so 1 out of 2 is less able to process info. and need it put in an easily digestable form. Control of the media is imperative to a dictatorship and paramount to repressive regimes.<br><b>References : </b><br> Fox news is an example of bias in the media (though they have other programs that have very open program material like the Simpsons).

TV's all controlled by politicians now, but we now have the internet that is equaliy popular to tell us the truth. Luckly, there are still people who don't trust everything they hear, which is how there is still some freedom of expression.<br><b>References : </b><br> Well, TV stations like Fox really do brainwash the common person because they don’t know better. they don’t have teachers in school to tell them that this is all wrong, that you can’t believe everything you are told.
