Reader comments about this quote:

Where the press is responsible and the readers scrutinize what they read, the decisiveness is more sound.

-- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown

An overly auspicious view from an optimistic noble individual. By way of example: a press that is free to print/say the truth is also free to print / say some/anything contrary thereto. The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land has a propaganda ministering machine (MSM) that promotes socialism — absolutely contrary to safety, freedom, individual sovereignty and inalienable rights at nature's law. I believe there to be the possibility of an independent press today, capable of relaying truth along with liberty, rights and nature's law, BUT it is just not happening.

-- Mike, Norwalk
