Flaw?
I think not. Is influence as an implicit free market media characteristic?
Yes, depending upon the degree of objective intent in editorial staff and
magazine ownership.
The value of a free press is often wasted on those unwilling to make
discerning judgements. While regulation has merit in certain situations and
social activities, a free press is generally not one where regulation should
be a primary source of "correction". A free market is a better source.
