Freedom of the Press......

[babe]

Do you have any evidence this is coercion instead of investigation?

I'm sure you could come up with a lot of concerns if you actually cared about freedom of the press. . . . oh, say, like if the cops were "investigating" organizations that operate internet dominance cells with liberal agendas. . . . .

I find this kind of retort from you beyond the pale of tolerance. When you ask this kind of question on this subject, it fails at the intellectual honesty level and just makes you look. . . . . well. . . . . despicable.

I find this kind of retort from you beyond the pale of tolerance.

Based on this post and your neg rep, you seem to think that I feel we have a truly independent press in this country. I don't think that, at all. Because our press are driven by ratings, they need to get big names in interviews. They can't do that unless, to a degree, they tow the government line. Most of the press is already firmly in the government's pocket. There's a reason Snowden didn't want to go to the New Your Times or Washington Post with his revelations.

Until you can have a conversation with me, instead of some fictional caricature of me, I don't give a decayed fig for your opinion of my comments.

Seeing as babe is the most tolerant of beings something must be wrong...or One Brow drives everyone to the edge.

I meant the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox) and their subsidiaries, the New York Times, the Washington Post, etc. Many of them value access, and tone down their coverage to get it.

Ahhh, ok. That makes much more sense.
