Media Clowns Think They Have Constitutional Immunity from Criticism

They are so far gone, they really think that they are the last line of defense between freedom and democracy and tyranny. And attacking them and challenging their reputation is no more and no less than attacking the Constitution and trying to destroy America and democracy.

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 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. --

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.

There is such a thing as "official government-issued press credential."

Of course. But there is no such thing as a right to one.

[Cboldt]

Yes, but those who have these credentials are given access that is withheld from the general public. Whether or not that amounts to "allowed preferential treatment under law" depends on how that phrase is defined.

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.

I saw the piece with Chris Wallace.

Yep, he feigned outrage and scolded Reince about Trump - he looked foolish.
