    Depends on the situation
    In a Capitalistic society such as ours, information should be free for consistency is what keeps society going

    Communism is a good idea in theory, but it fails in practice because of inconsistency in practice by the ruling body

    With our GINORMOUS resource usage, we gain progress
    Hiding information stunts that

    considering if what I have said is true and logical

    Capitalism that hides information from the public is worst than communism

    I think they should be able to, but have they ever done it? Not like we'd ever find out, but think about it. Do you seriously think that EVERYONE in the media is going to keep their mouths shut about something? There's always going to be one person that cracks.

    I say that the media should tell us everything exept things we dont care about. and also if the media hides something from us, i think its only for our own good.

    I think the media shouldn't tell us everything. There are just some thing we don't need to know.

    I think that they shouldn't. The people deserve to know the truth. With-holding information is wrong and is the same thing as lying.

    I think the media should either tell the whole truth or don't cover the story. If the family doesn't want their story known, the media should not harass them. If they do do a story, its not up to them to decide what information is important.

    As much as the media hiding stuff thinks it will help. in the long run it is always better not to hide anything i think.

    But people can also abuse the availability of information.
    You can find hundreds of youtube videos on key bumping.
    How is that better?
