I agree with Ceejache, we cannot gag the press, it would impose on our, and their, fundamental rights. On the other hand, the press itself needs to be far more responsible in its reporting. I am aware that they have to make a profit in order to remain viable, we certainly do not want them all to go bust and be left with no media. However, they seem to be at the point where they are willing to sacrifice truth and employ sensationalism in support of their profit and loss account. They need to rethink their mission statement and endeavour to get the truth to the people without embellishing and 'glamourising', for want of a better word, the harsh realities of bad situations such as we are presently witnessing in Iraq and other parts of this troubled world of ours.
