John Nichols At The National Conference on Media Reform 2013

“Brothers and sisters, we are winning fights every day… Media reform has never been about media. Media reform is about those wonderful lines in the first amendment of the Constitution where it says that we have a right to a free press in this country. That right was not written into the Constitution so that Rupert Murdoch could do whatever he wants. That right was written into the Constitution so that the people of this country would have the information they need to make informed decisions and to run their own affairs. Freedom of the press is the underpinning of Democracy. We are not a media reform movement.  We are a Democracy movement.”   Watch.
