Glenn Beck on his first anniversary show tonight had the video of this quote of the new WH propaganda minister agreeing with Anita Dunn. It is chilling for the WH to define what is and what is not a “legitimate” (”traditional”, “real”, “bonafide”, etc) news organization. The other media should jump them on this!

It is unconstitutional for the WH to be saying these things. The WH has no First Amendment rights. Only the “press” (media) do.

IMO it's stupid for the WH to do such a thing, not chilling. I, however, get your point.

The WH has no First Amendment rights. Only the “press” (media) do.
Your understanding is so fundamentally wrong it's chilling.
The press aren't the only ones to have 1st Amend. rights. The 1st Amend. was, first and foremost, to ensure that everyone, not just the press, were ensured of the right to speak freely about the government without the fear of intimidation, coercion or incarceration.

Sorry about the correction, but it was, IMO, very necessary.
