A free press is essential to a democracy. Free Media holds the Government accountable, and a free press is the first indication of a healthy democracy. The motto of the Free Press is, "Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" by reporting the Truth.
A Free Press's job is to show the Truth to the People and let People make a perception of the news. But, a few sponsored or biased Media try to get people to perceive their hidden goals and agenda. The fundamental idea is that people must learn what is going on to make good decisions. Access to good information allows people to make informed choices. Misinformation can trick people into making incorrect choices.
