The Press was considered an integral part of any Republic in that it would serve as another check and balance on government. The idea is that reporters and publishers would aspire to ethical goals and integrity of reporting the truth. Unfortunately today, much of the press spins the news to suit their own political agendas, both through what stories they choose to cover, and by omitting facts that contradict the impression they want to give. Overwhelmingly, the media in United States tilts Left, with talk radio as a notable exception. (www.PatriotMusic.com)
