Excerpt:
So, is this really about the press jeopardizing government strategy or about politicians formulating a strategy that jeopardizes the free press?

Some elected officials want to decide who covers government and how they do it. In other words, they don't want news. They want press releases.

I don't blame them. American politicians have been complaining about the media since colonial times. Unlike Hayworth, however, guys like Thomas Jefferson saw the bigger picture. It was Jefferson who said, "Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."

Call me old-fashioned, but on the matter of what's best for the country, I'd defer to the Founding Fathers.

8. He's another RW assclown who's on the talk shows 18 hours a day

He has nothing better to do than get on his knees and kiss their butts. Arizona shoud toss this bum out. He's wasting their tax money trying to be a big man.

before he ran for Congress. He's a big mouth, red-neck asshole!!

14. interesting phrasing in this article

" Republican lawmakers in both houses of Congress said government employees who revealed details of a secret Treasury Department effort to monitor bank transfers to the New York Times and other news outlets had undermined national security."


I guess they need to proofread.

15. OK, DU get busy! We could send them 90,000 signatures to
