Communication is inescapable, complicated, irreversible and contextual.

Does the USA media actually need lessons in communication with the public?  It sure does appear that way in some segments of it.

1.  If communication can fail, it will. (click title to entry - thank you)

2.  If a message can be understood in different ways, it will be understood in just that way which does the most harm.

3.  There is always somebody who knows better than you what you meant by your message.

4.  The more communication there is, the more difficult it is for communication to succeed.

This is from an educational website.  If there is academic proof that communication effectiveness is difficult, I would think the practice of Communication (which is a college major, by the way) would be seeking to be clear and concise under the governance of freedom to be sure the citizens are well served.

If communication is this difficult to be understood BY ALL, then when it is abused by ? PROFESSIONALS ? isn't that a verbal assault? 

If citizens of the USA aren't provided with professionalism by media professionals then why are they there?
