A free press is a fundamental function of any democracy worth its salt.

That being said, the U.S. press is free, but shit.

no its not a fundamental part of any democracy

thats a lie they told you

name one way in which the Free press is a fundamental part of democracy. there is no way that a media apparatus designed to lie to you is good for democracy. It means that the decisions you make and the people you vote for to vote for..

please explain how a free press is better than an honest press for democracy. I would rather have a completely non-free protest that was 100% honest than "free press that lies off

The freedom of the press is enshrined in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The First Amendment is one of ten which comprises the Bill of Rights.
