Watch how the self-righteous press squirm, recoil and writhe with bitterness when the power of the press is turned on themselves; when the cleansing light of accountability is gloriously shined on the press itself--that is watching hypocrisy at its ugliest zenith.
"There is a terrific disadvantage in not having the abrasive quality of the press applied to you daily...Even though we never like it, and even though we wish they didn't write it, and even though we disapprove, there isn't any doubt that we could not do the job at all in a free society without a very, very active press." (John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917–1963), U.S. Democratic politician, president. quoted in Theodore C. Sorensen, Kennedy, pt. 3, ch. 12 (1965).
Ionmedia advocates a very, very active citizen press corps to scrutinize the press itself--to keep the press accountable; to assist the press in self-decontamination; to serve as an anti-corruptive agent striving to bring back a free society. Emboldened by a dearth of transparency and accountability the press destroys liberty and freedom and the right to free speech. A corrupt press will always seek to create an unnatural monopoly on free speech; to artificially create a scarcity of truth, perspective and information; especially a scarcity of self-revelatory information on bias, perspective and political agenda. A corrupt press will claim impartiality and act partially.
