Swaffer once wrote: "Freedom of the press... is freedom to print such of the proprietor's prejudices as the advertisers don't object to."<br /><br />The "advertisers" today seems also to include elected and appointed politicians and lobbyists. The Mega-Media Press in this state are embedded with the Crony-Capitalists and the political apparatus. Just think about all the Stuporbowl hype that was passed on as factual news. <br /><br />So with this quote in mind I congratulate the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette for their courage and ethics. <br /><br />What is obvious is the Elected Officials in Indiana have legally immunized themselves against prosecution. <br /><br />If there was a dictionary defining Political Ethics in Indiana - We would find that section blank.
