I understand now, and it's hard not to agree with that perspective.
On the other hand, because of the fundamental relationship of the free press and health of democracy, shouldn't there be some kind of criteria for validity the same way that health claims in advertising do, for example? I understand that some things are subjective and impossible to apply criteria to, but what about cases where people are knowingly publishing demonstrable falsehoods to mislead masses of people. Seems like a major problem.
Btw, im not sure what my opinion is on this.... Im just "devil advocating", I guess.
EDIT:/foundational/fundamental Im having a hard time with words today. :/
