how is my ideal of an honest media forcing accountability a "wow. just wow" is that not what you want where the media doesn't lie, people believe an honest media thus holding lying politicians accountable to voters...yeah, my ideal is really fricked
All of the worst societies in history were the result of authoritarianism and communism, not democracy and free speech. It isn't the role of government to dictate what the media should or should not say about them. This is not the USSR.

quote:it's to disseminate information that is true...one of the most important things that comes from doing so is accountability of government...so I agree, kind of.
The media's job is to hold the President accountable.

he President's job is to run the country.
agree
quote:the people are holding them accountable...they don't believe shite they say until they start demonstrating that they're reporting the truth, at the very least making a good faith effort to. how is the president holding them accountable? name one thing he's done to hold them accountable? he's simply defends himself to the people against lies by the media...the media puts out information ostensibly to hold the president accountable...and with that you have no objection (reasonably) It sounds like you're making it up as you go along.
It's the people that should hold the media accountable, not the President.
quote:when did I say otherwise? man you're a loon if you think that's what's happening. trump defends himself against false reports by the media...in no world is that objectionable.

And it isn't the media's role to dictate political doctrine and drive legislation. The media in this country overtly brags about how it drives policy in DC. That's not how it's supposed to work.
