The functions of our "Free" Press.

[KlatooBNikto]

These are, not in any particular order:

1.Maintaining our cherished myths.
2. Ignore the obvious.
3. Don't invite the wrath of the powerful.
4. Keep your options open as far as potential opportunities for
increased sycophantism.
5. Never find any faults of the powerful;deal with them like a well trained courtier or an obedient dog which are essentially the same thing.

6.Always, always, describe them as men/women with vision, who may occassionally err but those are somethings even the best among us commit such as wars.When our ruling elite go to war it is done only reluctantly and with great concern for the soldiers or civilian life.Unlike the rulers of other nations who are savage and cruel.
