Second freedom of the press is just that, freedom to print (or publish) what one wishes. It does not grant any special privileges to some self appointed (anointed?) group who label themselves "the press". They have no more right to hide information of a crime than anyone else. They have no more "right to know" than anyone else. They have no more right to be anywhere or see anything than anyone else. Their only power, and it belongs to all of us as well, is to publish what they know, or think or think they know, without prior restraint from government.
Great posts, both of you. I agree completely, the press no longer performs its function as a watchdog of the government. They have chosen sides and now function as a propaganda arm of the left by printing half-truths, biased opinion, witch-hunts, and lies of omission as the gospel truth. If anyone dares to confront them...well you see what results.
You are right,,if we decide to challenge the so-called journalists with any facts to the contrary then we are just partisan hacks with an agenda..
kinda like the journalists...
HEY! Are you calling me a journalist???? (sarc)
