I still remember that mafia game where buying all the newspapers is a HUGE advantage!

Of course you also could also kill reporters who write bad things about you

You mean Italy? Bonus points if you get the reference.

I really like the idea of being able to give interviews and so forth -- but there'd always be the inherent risk of a Sneaky Conservative Ambush.

I'm not so sure if this should be changed.

Altough all the news stories I have received of the CCS were postive (in that they protrayed the CCS as 'political activists' as opposed to EVIL RAMPAGING BABY-EATERS), if they were did turn negative, that would be a sure indication that the CCS has alienated the area, and that their raid actually had a negative effect on Conservative public opinon. At the same time, all the LCS raids are also protrayed postively, but if I accidently alienated moderates, then those stories would protray the LCS in a negative light, showcasing that the raid actually was counterproductive. The more conservatives I kill, the more people hate Liberalism, instead of how it usually works.

Having newspaper editor sleepers mess everything up basically means that me and the CCS can shoot anybody, Liberal and Conservative, and still get good press...even when they alienated everybody else. And besides, one of the good things about the Public Newspaper is that it's netural. I'd prefer it that way, a more accurate layout of the battleground is always useful to terrorists of all stripes.

The point of writing articles is to alter the viewpoint of the audiance, not just to show the Liberal Crime Squad in possitive light.

A real life example is whenever a cop is killed by drug drug dealers you will sometimes see articles or comments that are along the lines of "That is why we should have legalised it". (of course neither the cops or the drug dealers want that to happen... but you get what I mean)

So articles could focus either on the issue, which is easier, or on showing the LCS in a better light, which is nearly impossible without sleepers.

The Media isn't as powerful in LCS as it probably should be... but that is alright...

That's true you see comments like that, but I don't think you see the comments in the actual news article. The newspapers articles themselves have to at least PRETEND to be netural, as opposed to opinon pieces and 'analysis'. That's what I desire.

Right, for example people say that the news is usually biased towards one political party but they never go out and say "Hey Mr. Politician is EVIL!!!" they just downplay faults of one party and play up the faults of another it can also prep the audiance to take

One interesting way news Media does play against one political party (usually on the internet though) is my making its header entirely innaccurate to the article. "Mr. President murders woman" when the inside may be about how he ate a turkey dinner.

Though there are exceptions. I've seen hillariously biased newspaper articles before (most were by guests) and WOW some of the readers ripped right into her!
