McCain, R-Ariz., said that having a free press is "a fundamental part of the new world order" when asked by NBC's "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd to respond to Trump's tweet that specifically calls out the New York Times, NBC and CNN as "fake news media."
"I hate the press, I hate you especially, but the fact is we need you, we need a free press," McCain said in a clip of the show released on Saturday. "If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and sometimes adversarial press. Without it, I'm afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started."
Todd asked McCain if he thought Trump was acting like a dictator with his tweet.

does mc cain know the difference between a FREE PRESS
and
a globalist controlled pravda main stream media pandering propaganda and fake news???
I DOUBT IT...
The liberal media love McCain, more now than ever.
Good thing nobody is suppressing anything then, you senile old goat...
And .. you can’t suppress a “free press” .. when our PRESS IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.
So .. get over the idea that Trump is insulting a “free press” .. I can’t remember we ever had a free press.
Thank you for your service, Senator McCain. Your porch rocker is over there - please stay in it and only open your mouth when kids come onto your lawn.
Thanks
America
This doddering old fool keeps steeping in it. The press is free to publish whatever the hell it wants. The press is still free even if it is not invited to a briefing. There is a major difference between censoring the press and not talking to them directly.
You let them push you around and you lost, BADLY, to a guy named HUSSEIN.
If the President ever needs advice on how to be a pathetic loser, I'm sure you'll be his first call.
I don't think this guy's brain or sack ever made it out the jungle, sad.
McPain believes that “Free Press” means allowing them to spout any lies and rumors, leak any classified data and smear anyone they want with the impunity of special privileges...he really did lose a few marbles as a POW. Bless his service but don’t saddle us with this crap in a ‘representative”....
It is obvious McCain is suffering from dimentia
This senile old fool is vying to head up the rabid anti-Trump forces. He is beyond being an embarrassment: he is a traitor!

He threw the match. Same as Willard. They talk about Trump not being able to take a punch, if Zero had faced someone, anyone, who actually fought back, he’d have crumpled in a ball in one shot (think OK Gov. Frank Keating).
McCain is like the Willian Devane/Timmy Lee Jones characters from “Rolling Thunder”: Damaged beyond repair.
Tommy.
Why was “Tommy” autocorrected?
I’ve never seen that movie. At least I’ve never seen it on cable or movie channels in memory.
It’s around. Highly recommended.
I would hate to but I wonder if there wasn’t post he could have been given that wouldn’t be as bad as having him in the Senate.
Ambassador to UN, or to NATO? I don’t think the later has been filled. I don’t know if he’d take that.
He’s clearly been turned. He has no place in any role in the government of the USA.
