Kathleen Morin-Morgan
Independent Media is important because clearly we do not get unbiased news. In fact, it is clear that in this political season there are predetermined candidates who get preferential coverage.

Karl Smith
Supports Independent Media to ensure that Americans receive information that is not biased by advertisers or other entities with interests not necessarily in line with middle-class America.

Tamara Johnson Shealey
As a candidate for one of the two Senate seats from Georgia, I know the importance of having independent media. It is clear that too often the mainstream media have an affinity for certain candidates and as such restrict their access to constituents through their venues.
