Please select which seems more true. As it is the media does not have to prove its news stories about politicians and their is no penalty if they print a false story, because politicians do not have rights to libel and slander like all Americans. In other words, our system allows anyone to say anything about any politician even if it is horrible and false.
| 0% (0) | This absolute freedom of speech granted to the media and the rights taken away from the politicians is extremely unjust and is politically disruptive | |
|---|---|---|
| 0% (0) | We the people need the freedom to say anything, even if it is only possibly, remotely true, and a genuine good leader could resist any falacious accusation because the public will still want proof |

Please select one of the following. Imagine that their is a person that is a political and economic genius, a brillian leader, but, as well, he was very sexually promiscious in his youth, and involved with illict drugs. In his thirties, he has settled down and now has a family and stable life. His fear is so great that the truth of his past will come out and disrupt his marriage that he decides not to run Senator or Governor, even though many of his professional friends believe that he will be tremendously beneficial in politics.
| 0% (0) | In this situation we are unfortunately missing out on a very good politician, but his sexual past and his drug activity should still be fair game to public awareness if he runs for office | |
|---|---|---|
| 0% (0) | In this fashion the freedom of the media to expose ever aspect of a politicians life is injurious to the nation, and to prevent this from happening, possibly, the media should ease its investigation into a politicians past |
