It’s time to address the news media and-or the press, as is so often referred to. I’m appalled at the rate our government shuts out the press from facts due the American people. In other words, if you ask too many of the wrong type of questions, you may be barred from newsrooms and-or placed on gag order status. Meanwhile, Americans stand at a loss for facts, many times and much later those facts become faded or manipulated.

Large amounts of money in Washington are floating around and politicians claim budget poverty while subtly blocking the press from facts. We need more investigative reporting and the laws to help them.
