The idea that people have two choices and only two choices is wrong. If it came down to it anyone can write in what they want and are free tomorganize however they wish to. Influence is not control especially not in today's time when candidates have the ability to interact directly with millions via the internet. People are free to listen to whoever they want to and decide who to vote for based on there own opinion. To think that press and ads control people is to almost say that people are to stupid to decided for themselves and thus there choice is invalid or controled and forced. To restrict a free press in an election if anything would be leaning towards an unfair election if history is anything to go by

Your praising of the free press is also highly doubtful to me.
In theory I am of course all for it and I still don't want to restrict free press.
But the press plays a very bad role in doing the same as what politicians do.
Lying, framing, and twisting words, and the owners of the so-called free press are
powerful forces choosing the side of the mighty and the rich which they're part of.
You seem pretty naive if you think anything she promised would be actually accomplished at the end of her term. You probably still believe in Santa Claus as well.
