Canadian government is 'muzzling its scientists'

Funny as I read the story the scientists are employee by the government. And if I grant the belief that anything the government does should always be open to the public, then does the government have the right not to allowed an employee a public interview?

Oh granted, not all news is really news. Sometimes it is more a guess then fact. And in truth who really wants a half baked theory release and worry the people?

To me the answer is simple. Get the government out of research.

Could the same thing happen in the states, of course it can. In fact many people believe it has happen time and time again ...

Or, and I will just toss this out there for thought, has the news out lived its usefulness? After all, does it now report the news, or report its own view of what the news should be?

I think this is a very good question. In the US, the reason the founding fathers provided for a free press is so the press could provide a check and balance for the government and advocate for the people. It really doesn't do that any longer and really hasn't for a long time.

They present stories according to their own bias, they create news through the use of polls, and they advocate for government.

Oh, so since some people think the media is already in the governments pocket, should we, as the government owners, place limits on them? Say like no interviews unless we approve.
