EDIT: Not denouncing something is nowhere close to the same as defending something.

They are rating someone else's lie about what Trump said. It should be rated 100% false. If you fail to see the partisan nature of Politifact then there's nothing I can do for you.

I don't need your help. Have a nice day.

The 1st Amendment does not grant any member of the news media access to the government. It protects the press from interference from the government but does not grant any kind of access to the government at any level other than that granted any other member of the public.

Well said. Some of the hyperbole about the actions conflates the two. Exclusion from pressers is not prior restraint, folks.

<p class="bbc_left">Education is the cheap defense of nations. - Edmund Burke

<p class="bbc_left"> 

<p class="bbc_left">Or is it from Burke? I tried finding the source, and looked through some of his writings, no luck. Anybody with google-fu got a citation of the source?

They never said he supported it.

The OP is trying to make it that way... I'm not arguing politifact or whatever site it is... (I'm always weary of my news sites and fact checkers and tend to check news vs news of other sites, etc)
