" "A free and independent press is essential to the health of a functioning democracy. It serves to inform the voting public on matters relevant to its well-being.

Their job is to consolidate power. When you go to the zoo and you see a monkey throwing poop, you go, "that's what monkeys do, what are you gonna do?" But what I wish the media would do more frequently is say "bad monkey."
