The mainstream media: Absolutely not

The alternative media and the candidates positions: yes

We have to get our information from some kind of media. I wish Ron Paul was still in it. Oh well...
In my opinion, Ron Paul is too much of an isolationist. Otherwise I think he's got some good ideas. We can't just shut out the world. To me, that's kinda like how N.Korea is now. We need to have a presence around the world for our own protection as well as the interests of our allies. But, surely some adjustments here and there could be made.
