Read about press responsability - and have a laugh at the same time!

I’ve posted in a related vein before – Tim Robbins says it quite a lot better than I can:



You have the power to turn this country away from cynicism. You have the power to turn this nation away from the hatred and the divisive dialogue that has rendered such a corrosive affect on our body politic. You can lift us up into a more enlightened age. Or you can hide behind that old adage; "I'm just a businessman, I provide what the audience wants." Well, I'm here to tell you that we don't need to look at the car crash. We don't need to live off of the pain and humiliation of the unfortunate. We don't need to celebrate our pornographic obsession with celebrity culture. We are better than that.


This doesn’t just go for the US of A – everywhere, I strongly believe, we need the press to wake up and remember that thing about the 4th power.
