ROLE of the free press in a democratic country, and TRUMP: What do you think should be the ROLE of the free press (consider all

types) in a democratic country? In what ways might today's media in the USA seem to fulfill such a role or purpose, and in what ways might we argue the media to be failing to fulfill its role. What should we expect from it? What should we demand? How does the media inform us, and how does it shape our attitudes and beliefs? Any problems? Maybe consider the media coverage of the 2016 candidates during the primaries. Consider TRUMP's attacks on the media (general or specific). Any threats or dangers for our democracy?

The correct answers to these open questions are the following.

What do you think should be the ROLE of the free press (consider all types) in a democratic country?

The role of the free press should always be to report the truth and nothing but the truth, which means never bias information or confound or distort public opinion.

In what ways might today's media in the USA seem to fulfill such a role or purpose, and in what ways might we argue the media to be failing to fulfill its role.

Not always. The major news companies in America serve particular and economic purposes of their owners. For instance, Disney owns ABC and ESPN; among other news channels. So many times they serve the business interests of the owners and are not completely objective in covering the news.

What should we expect from it?

The truth, and nothing but the truth.

What should we demand?

The same, and to never bias the reality in favor of one side or the other.

How does the media inform us, and how does it shape our attitudes and beliefs?

The media shape our attitudes and beliefs because people trust the media, thinking they are telling the truth and serving our interests, but that is not true, as I explained above.

Consider the media coverage of the 2016 candidates during the primaries. Consider Trump's attacks on the media (general or specific). Any threats or dangers for our democracy?

Yes, the media received constant critics and attacks during the Republican presidential campaign, but as I wrote above, the media is not a "white dove," it has served the economic and political interests of political groups and big corporations in the past and in the present.

5. "With so many able-bodied men leaving for the frontlines, Paris is left defenseless, its jails bursting with political prison
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Marat was a French journalist who suffered from a deteriorating skin disease that obliged him to spend most of his time inside a bathtub. However, this did not stop him from being one of the most respected voices among the radical groups of the revolution.

He made such claims because he was, along with Robespierre, the most noteworthy radical figure of the Revolution. Marat actively called for the murder of the King and the royal family, and the murder of all of the nobles and political prisoners who supported the king and the Ancient Regime.

In the end, he was successful because the royal family was beheaded, as well as many political prisoners. However, he was himself killed by a loyalist peasant, who stabbed him to death while he was on his bathtub.
