[ExI] the myth of the US "liberal media"

[Max More]

Your argument -- "garbage" -- is very impressive.

What Samantha said is not garbage at all. For those willing to look, the
evidence is all around. It's especially abundant in the areas of climate
change and nutrition.

But, go ahead, nationalize (monopolize) all the media and then see how much
freedom of speech remains. Because that's always worked so well in the past.
