Milton argues that society needs a free marketplace of ideas, a streaming fountain of knowledge as he calls it, in order to grow and progress. Does our media have a responsibilty to contribute only objective information into the marketplace? Why?
I agree with Milton, that the society needs a free marketplace of ideas and knowledge in order to grow and progress. Society will have their own ideas and knowledges about topics that others may not know and it's good to sometimes share it with others. If people didn't have their own ideas, then probably not much would have been invented or even said.
Our media should have the responsibility of contributing only objective information and they do. Media does put some information that we rely on. The media however, can write what they want the reader to read, and in some cases the information can be false or the truth can be strecthed out farther. Media is everywhere, and society cannot get enough of it. I think society relies on the media too much than knowing the actual facts.
