The LSM LOVE to make the Story about themselves, but they hate when others make the Story about them.

The President needs to make an example out of some huge talking head or ‘journalist’, put them in their place, and give them a heavy dose of reality..........................

Hollywood ‘entertainers’ want to be ‘journalists’

I’d like to see someone or a bunch of someones, dig up the dirt on all these urinalists, and then post it all online. You can bet that there are lots of affairs, perversions, lies, and cheating going on among them.

Bring these media pukes down to a town-hall meeting and let the citizens tell them what they think of them. These media slugs have been living with their heads in the liberal clouds for too long. It’s like Hollywood. You don’t get that job because you’re good, you get it because you’re a degenerate liberal who knows somebody.

(I use “degenerate-liberal” in the same vein as “degenerate gambler”, i.e. somebody who gambles, doesn’t know what they’re doing, and always losing their a$$.)

“It’s un-American to criticize. It’s un-American for Trump to be destabilizing. It’s un-American for Trump to be going out there and trying to do damage to the media. We’ve got First Amendment protection.”

It is un-American to spread Lies, Fake News, and Bullshiit about The President and his government. Dust off the Gitmo facility for these seditious fake news bastards.

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 to publicize our ideas.

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

“Freedom of the press” applies equally to every citizen seeking to use a technological device to record and publicize his or her opinion.

Was he on with Matthews, too?

Media supports laws restricting the free practice of religion. They support “common sense” gun legislation that impacts the 2nd amendment. Sounds like it’s time for “common sense press legislation.”

Muckrakers, gossips, alcoholics, liars and not an impartial journalist amongst the lot of ‘em...they are the opposition...

They oppose the massive groundswell of disgust over their 8 years of fawning over Obama and their blatantly biased support of Clinton...they are completely unwilling to admit that they are biased...

There are no serious journalists anymore...they all twitter each other in a circle jerk attempting to create the next 30 second sound bite and firestorm story...in fifteen years their jobs will be done by robots...and us

Another part of their complacency is that people were justifiably afraid to do battle in the press with folks who bought their ink in 55 gallon drums.

The internet has rendered “The Press” obsolete. They just haven’t done a story on it yet, so they don’t know.

The first amendment would better served, in spirit, by having the President, VP, and a random cabinet member each doing a weekly “Internet Ask Me Anything” session.

It singles them out and references them in terms of their importance, a free and unintimidated, whatever, unattached media.

1st Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I believe Rush is making a mistake in reading the 1st amendment as referring to "the press" as an institution or organization. In the context used, the term "the press" is referring to an activity. It was recognizing that the people had a natural right deriving from their creator to freedom of expression and was forbidding the government from abridging that right. The 1st amendment was not to give rights but rather to prevent the government from taking away inherent rights of the people. Institutions and organization are created by man, therefore they have no natural or inherent rights that could be abridged.

I still contend that the First Amendment does NOT give some special rights to a guild or a class of Americans that call themselves the Press, all educated at Columbia. To me anyone can be the Press. Anyone with the means to open a paper. Or today, anyone who can collect a group of other people and create an online presence. But the MSM actually think they have a supremacy to bloggers, you and me on Facebook, ect...

The establishment mainstream media thinks that it still has a monopoly on the first amendment. It does not - we ALL have first amendment rights, including you, I, and the President.

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).
