Senator Jay Rockefeller (D. WV) has said it would be easier to get things done if FOX News and MSNBC weren't on the air and that a part of him would like the FCC to ban them. I'll give him credit for being a bipartisan idiot. Freedom of the press was designed to protect and encourage opinion. Does anyone really believe that the founding fathers were worried that the press might accurately report the day to day news? It was the suppression of opinion that they were concerned about. I may not like what the jackasses on MSNBC say and there are a number of times FOX turns me off because of blatant bias, but I would never shut them up. I will only say when they are wrong and hope that an educated populace would know the difference.
