We've seen for decades now a near inability for the legislative branch so effectively oversee the executive, which is what should be happening. But staffers in Washington will tell you that if you actively and thoroughly read the news from the MSM you are just as informed as the vast majority of them, including their bosses.

Honestly, I think a free press is the best way to hold our elected officials accountable. If the government is supposed to be by, for, and of the people, then the people need to know what is going on. I don't think there is going to be a better way to do that then a free press.

OK so how about when Obama had that "American" taken out by a drone.  Say somebody doesn't like the fact that this is going to happen, and tells a reporter who writes it up, and that alerts the guy.  Are we good with whomever deciding this is where he draws the line?  Obviously this didn't happen, and maybe in this case the time between identifying and attacking was too small, but I'm just using it as a broad what it.
