The purpose of this petition is to restore objectivity and fairness to our media. If the public is not informed in a truthful, accurate and unbiased manner, then the people’s freedom to make informed decisions is denied.
The 1st amendment of the US Constitution guarantees freedom of speech. However along with every freedom there are responsibilities. Example: One cannot yell fire in a crowded theater.
Far too many media organizations report opinions as fact. They should be required to distinguish between what is fact and what is opinion.
Finally any media outlet that promotes itself as a news organization should be required to present a neutral and objective presentation of news and events, without predominate bias for or against any viewpoint.
Americans want the freedom of truth.
