Quote:I'm not a liberal.  I actually watch and listen to what's happening and form my own opinions.  What lies do you think I'm believing?  I find it rather ironic how outspoken you are about forming independent thoughts as you fall in lock-step with whatever the administration is selling this week.

 

Freedom of the press is absolutely fundamental to our society
.  It's been abused and mistreated, sure.  But so many people are so excited about the Trump administration's dogged attempts to discredit the media that it's frankly shocking.  The state should never control the media.  The government should never be the sole source of information.

 

There's nothing dictatorial about not allowing certain sects of the press to attend a press conference--it's hyperbole at its finest to suggest so.  But some of you guys who post here seem so thirsty for a leader to lay down the law that you'd just accept it if Trump (or Bannon, more likely) declared himself God-Emperor tomorrow--as long as the filthy liberals were silenced.
