"We owned the news ... & we very much owned the facts, as well". Draconian.

Public trust in mainstream media is at an all time low - & deservedly so. Listen as the Editor in Chief of the Wall Street Journal callously describes the imperious view of MSM concerning their 'right' to produce and control media, including actual facts. Think of all of the suppression, misrepresentation and distortion of actual facts and events. Then, consider the value and importance of independent media and citizen journalism.
