Response to Vic's journalism post

I agree with Vic when it comes to freedom of press in the US. We do have a lot of freedom when it comes to writing, however I believe that the public never get to hear all of it. Everything we read or see is filtered before it hits the air or the news stand. Jesse gave us a great example of a meeting in which topics get picked and dissected, and what happens if his bosses don't agree with him.

Needless to say that some control is better than no control, or too much control. Just imagine what would have happened if journalists could write anything that comes to their minds.
