Milton argues that society needs a free marketplace of ideas, a streaming fountain of knowledge as he calls it, in order to grow and progress. Does our media have a responsibility to contribute only objective information into that marketplace? Why?
I think they do need to provide only objective information in the marketplace. We need to know all the information and make the decisions for ourselves. Otherwise, we become a society that is hanging on someone else's word. We should be a free-thinking society so we are not susceptible to anyone taking over. For example, we become susceptible to people like Stalen or Hitler, and we believe what they say.
