Media Bias Is Real. Government Censorship Is Worse

The media is biased. That is not new, and it is not the real danger. The danger is when politicians use claims of “fairness,” “misinformation,” or “public protection” to pressure networks, threaten broadcast licenses, and gain control over what the public can hear. You do not have to like The View, Jimmy Kimmel, Fox News, or any outlet you think gets it wrong. But the answer is not to give the government an off switch. A free press includes speech you disagree with. In this Fiercely Independent take, Chris breaks down why media bias is real, why government control of the press is not the cure, and how attacks on media freedom can become a much bigger threat than bad coverage. Stay fierce. Stay independent.
