These folks are not friends of a free press
Pardon the random shot but after reading about InstaGlenn on CNN this was the neocon gasbag on the Blogdex page when this revelation struck me. This cartoon thing has given them the chance to act all open, freedom loving and stuff. They're not; don't let 'em fool you.
Every single one of these pukes has carried water for this administration when it has sought to deny journalists access to information needed by the electorate to make informed political judgments. You have to go all the way back to the Nixon Whitehouse to find a group of Repug's that was as willin' to beat down and bullshit the press. Right now this administration is gearing up to prosecute those in the press, and those that informed them, of BushCo's illegal torture and surveillance activities. The kinda things the electorate
really needs to know about.
We'll see how much they remain champions of the free press.
