Quote of the Day
The First Amendment protects freedom of the press because the press is supposed to be the eyes and ears of the people. The Founders didn't envision a time when media were just another business cozying up to government -- a business that is cheaper to run as a monopoly. It's cheaper, too, if you don't pay for independent reporting.
-Shiela Suess Kennedy, from this opinion piece in the Indianapolis Star (which is actually considered a conservative newspaper)
