The problem with this statement is that the media are on the first line attack *against* freedom. Everything the MSM does is calculated to advance tyranny and crush rights. Now that we have a president who (thank God!) is willing to call them out, they are having conniptions.
I have no sympathy for the socialist propagandists, and I love to see President Trump call them out. It would be a miracle if they developed a sense of introspection and started to understand just why the president and majority of Americans hold them in contempt--but I doubt that will happen. So, the next best thing is to render them irrelevant and encourage and foster the growth of the new media (those who take reporting seriously).
There is such a thing as "official government-issued press credential." The elites are on both sides of that supposed "fence" between government and press, with both sides being part of the "governing elite." Both sides are in the business of manipulating and managing the public. No check and balance really, any more than DEM and GOP check and balance each other. All part of the same theater.
Of course. But there is no such thing as a right to one.
I believe that privilege (the right to withhold testimony from a court) varies based on this credential, and of course access to accident, disaster and crime scenes varies with this credential too.
I'm not saying it's right, just that's what it is.
Yep, he feigned outrage and scolded Reince about Trump - he looked foolish.
