To explain Freedom of the press, instead of talking about if any country should have a Free Press, I will take it in front of an ordinary family, if you are the husband or wife with a family few children, you will take charge to pass on the conduct of code to your children, how to be brought up and to be a responsible citizen, will you allow some next door neighbour keep banging on your door, and trying to get in your family circle, and telling your children what to do, criticizing their father and mother, and telling them to uprise, listen and follow your advice, the answer is no one will allow you to interfere with their family fair, so no country should interfere with other countries policy.

Fake news affects other people not just celebrities, fake news about sti statistics or crime statistics can be damaging to everybody who reads about them or lives in the area or fits the description of the population being lied on. I know its expected for celebrities to be lied on but what about the others in the fake news stories who arent celebs? There are christians whos lives are built around news reports that are FAKE? Just had a slight problem with that remark and thought i say something. Telling the population fake news really isnt ok if the general population isnt aware its fake or else the potus wouldn't have had to say something about it.

Freedom of press is without question a must to protect the people from a possible corrupt government. but who or what protects the people from a possible corrupt press? I once believed the news broadcasts and newspaper articles were credible with nothing but factual concrete information. I-m not that neice anymore. Networks are owned or funded by massive corporations and private entities. These owners and funders benefit with the right political head elected to office. What would or could stop anyone of these networks from abusing their trusted position and power to provide credible news.

Hi CrashCourse. I'm showing this in my class today. We just got done learning about product placement in media so I know the kids are going to notice the really conspicuous Mac computer sitting on the desk in this vid. In the interest of full disclosure, are you able to tell me if you got $ from Apple for that? I initially thought -no- because PBS is a non-profit org, but then I know there's underwriting, so. Thanks. Love these vids, BTW. My [college] class features a few of them. :)

Biggest threat to Freedom of the Press is the press itself. Political biases (75% liberal) and the majority trying to squash the minority freedoms IS DANGEROUS. Even if you are liberal yourself and support squashing the opposite side, someday you will have an opinion that WILL be in the minority and the precedent has been set to squash your opinion.

Yes but what do you do when the majority of the media now favors one side of the political spectrum and is not held accountable by anyone. Now the media can basically say and do anything they want to without any punishment at all. How do we trust a press that blatantly tells half truth or even flat out lies about things?

Democrats hate freedom of the press, as you can see with tech companies banning people for no reason and colluding to destroy services like Gab. If you crave liberty, never vote for a Democrat.
