Who will protect us from the "free" press

Some at the Arizona Republic feel the free press needs protecting.   Who will protect the rest of us from the "free" press.   Notably, the "free" press hasn't told the mushrooms about all the problems with Arizona's Proposition 127.  

• Prop 127 won't make Arizona's air healthier or save the planet.   Most of our pollution is produced by cars, trucks, airplanes, agriculture, mining and construction.   Arizona produces only a tiny, tiny portion of the world's global warming CO2 and even then much of that is produced by ... car, trucks etc.   The healthier-and-saves-the-planet mantra continues to be recited in the Republic by the 127 cargo cult without any remonstrance.

•  The claim that California's solar-panel-new-home mandate will pay for itself has appeared numerous times in the Republic.   The Republic hasn't publish any rebuttals to this dubious claim, which is even more dubious if applied to Arizona where electric rates are much lower than California.

•  APS bandit stories appear often in the Republic newspaper, but APS is never compared to other publicly owned utilities and their rates.   If APS is a bandit, what is SCE, whose rates are substantially higher?   The mafia?

• If solar power costs less than the nasty kind,  why doesn't Prop 127 have a clause that does away with all solar subsidies.

• Why in heavens name if we want to save the planet from pollution,  would we want to put a straitjacket on nuclear power.   And why is cobalt for battery storage less nasty and more renewable than uranium?
