This is correct. It was also the downfall of Nixon and Agnew (remember the nattering naybobs of negativism??).
I have seen President Bush finally shut up tired old Helen Thomas and try to teach the reporters manners (In todays front lawn brief he had to say "Let me finish please".)
It is up to us to help reign in the press. Letters to the editor, phone calls and boycotts of advertisers have always worked for the "Reverend" Jesse Jackson why can they work for us?
