Freedom of the Press???

[William Thornton]

Then maybe the MSM should work harder to get the facts and report them. All politicians spin. Obama (The Anointed One, remember) took the MSM to new lows in credibility.

What libs have nightmares about is the ability to bypass MSM, effete coastal libs, and communicate directly with the electorate. Liberals think the country is much better off when they filter the news and thereby signal commoners how they should think.

So, we have free press and free speech after all?

Sadly, news coverage is no longer about what is happening. The nature of cable news is that you have to have interviews with people who are newsmakers or have some kind of credentials to judge the newsmakers. Access is the word, so the denial of access is the denial of news. The game is to reward those who say what you want with greater access and to deny access to those who do not say what you want. The whole nature of journalism has changed making the folks close to those in office or in newsmaking positions the ones with access capital to spend.

I'm genuinely asking that question because I can't see any connection between your take and freedom of the press, the theme of this thread. Some folks, me included, believe that the Kingdom on earth currently resides within the soul of each believer. I can't imagine any research other than that afforded by the scripture as affecting/explaining this world through the thousand-year reign of Christ's tangible kingdom, allowing for the fact that you may not believe in THAT kingdom.

If a Democrat had been blocking Fox News from being in a White House press briefing most Republicans would be furious. Can we actually put away party long enough to notice that Trump does things no other previous President has done or would even consider doing? This isn't the normal DNC versus GOP wrangling.

Keith, don't bother to try to justify yourself to Jim. You've got better things to do with your life than listen to his vituperations.

Where did your old blog, on things Baptist, go?

Mika misspoke. I don't think that it can be argued that all media filter news.
