Free press

The Left hates the free press because it shines a searchlight onto government programmes in general,exposing the flaws and the corruption endemic in big government.It would like statutory control of the press citing public interest which is a flimsy cover for protection and immunity from criticism this would afford them the politicians and the State enabling it to carry out its operation free from exposure and ridicule.The Left thin skinned rats as they are cannot tolerate criticism and would like to turn the press into a carbon copy of the BBC:pro statist,pro government control of everything and everybody.The latest Milliband furore with the Daily Mail and the Left's assault on it shows today's direction of travel namely a curb on the press and state censorship.Not only would the Freedom Party reject all state control of the press but it would seek privatisation of the BBC and freeing up the airwaves ensuring the same freedom of speech as presently exists in the printed media.
