That's obviously not true freedom, it is a misuse of power. People forget that freedom of the press is one thing and the power of the press is another. That's a misuse of power, and just as we can condemn the government of Vietnam for its misuse of power whilst hoping that we'll have a new government that will use power properly, so with the press. We can condemn misuse of power whilst hoping that the press with other parts of society will learn to use power wisely and well. The important thing to remember is that human beings are not created perfect.
Human beings are imperfect and they are quite disposed to do wrong, indeed at times to do evil.
The way we design governments is to be perfectly honest about human beings and we design in such a way that power is balanced, freedom is balanced, and among all the balances no individual can become too powerful enough to corrupt the whole of society. We are against any form of dictatorship whether it's a dictatorship in government, or whether it's the sort of Chinese dictatorship of the bureaucracy where the public servants exercise absolute power, or a dictatorship of a party where a single party controls everything, or a dictatorship of business where one or two big businesses can control a Third World country and keep its people in poverty, or the control of the media where one or two people become too powerful. The reason we have four areas of power in society is to try and balance them out, so no one area gets more powerful than any other, and that's an acknowledgment that power is basically evil. But it's going always to be with us, and so we have to learn ways of controlling it. In contrast, the press is owned by private citizens in free countries.
