There is only one business mentioned by name is the Constitution: the Press. The Founders’ idea was publishers, editors and writers would tell the truth to advance democracy.

Seeing how there's no Fairness Doctrine, and to counterbalance the media of the wealthy and the Hate from the Reich, I suggest a new network of networks, combing traditional news media and new and social media, run along the lines of an independent government-funded corporation like the BBC, except with Democracy on top and running through the entire organization.

Just an idea I hope someday becomes a reality.
