How so? If there's a single group that's allowed to restrict the media, then it's politicians e.g. defamation laws.
Following that, it's the people, who can restrict the media based on what they pay attention to.
That's not what I was arguing.
I was stating that the media is in a better position to censor themselves than the government is, and that the media will follow views, so people can censor the media by paying or not paying attention.
