RE: Should there be a site that allows people to rate media members for how credible their content is?

in #crowdini6 years ago


I answered
No

the average person has no basis for knowing how credible media reporting is. THat would be like allowing the public to determine how credible scientific findings are. What would their ratings be based on? This is yet another attempt to demonize the free press and it is both disgusting and dangerous. It is the first step towards the destruction of a free press. "Freedom of conscience, of education, of speech, of assembly are among the very fundamentals of democracy and all of them would be nullified should freedom of the press ever be successfully challenged." -FDR
