What has occurred in the recent past is that media businesses in order to improve circulation and in the end improve profits have gone far over the edge including outright lies. I feel that the media no longer has a conscience. There are no longer any moral guidelines used in the editing meetings but only the judgment of the level of interest to the readers. I feel that there will be no return to higher ground until the businesses that distribute information are economically hurt when they deliberately mislead. This is not a free press issue.
