Sorry
Me too..
Agreed..if the media have a intention to manipulate..they tend to prefer assume a ''neutral position'' than assume a true position..because if they are neutral and they say 1+1=3 the people will think ''they don't are in any side so probably this is true..
And i want say a thing here..will be aproved a project to criminalize any criticism to politicians or parties in my country..so..how free are the internet in your respective countries?..you guys suffer some kind of censure?
In Ireland you're supposed to have representatives from both sides if you're hosting a debate in the broadcast media, or face a fine, doesn't apply to the print media.
Fairly free to criticize politicians here, but the thepiratebay is blocked, and a recent SOPA type legislation mean the media companies can basically tell it what websites it wants to shutdown/blocked by ISPs, even if they only link to copyright media, like a forum. Hasn't happened yet in practice other than forcing ISPs to block thepiratebay, but the legislation was awful and the useless Minister actually came out and said he'll listen to arguments from the other side but won't change the legislation one bit.
