Once again, Dick Durban illustrates what a complete ignoramus he is.

There is no such thing as THE PRESS in the sense that term is used by elitist Progressives today — some sort of elite group whose members are allowed preferential treatment under law. In the Constitutional sense, “the press” is a technological device for disseminating information.

One cannot be a “member” of the press. One can only have access to a press.

Any device which enables one to state and publicize one’s views is a “press,” whether it be moveable type, offset, TV, radio, or the Internet. We all have free access to “the press,” meaning we have the right to pay any provider who wishes to sell us access.

In this regard, no CBS anchor has anymore claim to special treatment for being part of “the press” than does any blogger.

Tick Turban is an ignoramus.
