Only 45% of graduated high school students have a fair amount of trust in the media. We should have the freedom to criticize the government. An essential concept in the history of freedom of the press and freedom of speech, predating the First Amendment, has been much debated: the freedom to criticize the government.
The Court sets a very high bar for public officials, extended to public figures, and to be able to recover damages from the news media for false and libelous statements. This puts an immense amount of stress on these individuals.
I personally think that there should be regulation on the amount elected officials subject themselves to press conferences.
