We need media that reports the news so we can decide, rather than badgering us with their left view.

For some time now, our political leaders have taken the management of the media very seriously and it is time to reciprocate. Initiatives such as the Right to Know campaign are not enough though - journalists, their editors, advertisers and media owners will have to demonstrate greater responsibility and accept that running a country is messy and requires difficult compromises. Simplistic reporting does no one any favours. I'll buy reporting such as this any time. Good luck.
