Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX): Press is ‘healthy’ adversary, not ‘opposition party’
Austin American-Statesman ^ | Jan. 27, 2017 | Sean Collins Walsh

“It’s fair to say the press and politicians have always had somewhat of an adversarial relationship,” Cornyn said at a meeting of the Texas Hospital Association in Austin. “My view is you have your job to do, I’ve got my job to do, and I’m fine with that. But I think (administration officials) feel somewhat aggrieved by some of the unfair coverage that they’ve gotten and they’re entitled to their opinion. I would call it, as opposed to the opposition party, I would say it’s a healthy adversarial relationship.”

That sound you hear is Cornyn kissing up to the opposition. Good example for term limits.

People who lie about you are the enemy - not healthy opposition.

Cornyn isn’t part of the opposition party?

Cornyn is another Democrat in an R jersey that needs to be Cantorized.

Doesn’t Texas have anyone who isn’t a Democrat in an R jersey to primary this guy?

There is only accountable government when the Republicans are in charge.

When the Democrats are in charge the “adversarial press” assume the role of cheerleaders.

The so-called “news” media is an arm of the Democrat Party.

If the media lie their heads off, and tell the factual truth about 0.0001% of the time, that’s OK with me, just as long as they don’t jump on ME!

BS cornball! Where was that healthy investigation, reporting and questioning of the previous administration or the Democrat candidate for President? Where was the disavowing of the violence during the inaugural?

UR a traitor to the people!

My Senator is an idiot. He must have had his head in his butt when the emails outlining the MSM’s role in the Hillary! campaign came out.

Cornyn needs to understand that weasels are no longer a protected species.
