@Lash,
I disagree with you on this one Lash.
We have an independent press. The press is allowed to publish opinions or even propaganda. What the Boston Globe published wasn't news, it was a very strong opinion delivered as a biting parody. It wasn't presented as news... it was clear to everyone what it was.
I would say the same thing about Fox... except they aren't as upfront about what they are doing. Anyone knows where they are coming from.
The press is actually less biased now then it was in the past where often a newspaper worked hand in hand with a political party. Whether this is a good thing or not is a matter of debate.
In a free country with an independent press, the newspapers are allowed to publish whatever they want (short of incitement or libel and even that is hard to enforce). It is up to the individual citizens to decide what type of media they choose to consume.
