For the first time in American history, two national "news" agencies are thanked for their partisan support, by members of the same ruling Administration




CNN announces a two day programming push supporting gun reform,   rather than concentrate on the pursuit and broadcasting of,  ah,  news.  Senator John Manchine from West Virginia,  spoke for the Administration in thanking the so-called “news agency”  for its political support on the issue. 


Biden thanks MSNBC...  The second such offering,  came from the blowhard, Joe Biden,  who took time to thank Joe Scarborough  and, by assoaciation,
MSNBC,  for their assistance in promoting Democrat legislation. 

In the past,  news agencies were regarded as “keepers of the gate.” That is precisely why their speech is protected by the US Constitution.

In my opinion,  when they begin to act as representatives of any political persuasion,  their rights under the First Amendment should
receive no special treatment. 

But then,  again,  the speech of those who oppose the “progressive” point of view have been in serious danger throughout Obama’s time in office. 

He and his Democrat collectivists thought to offer financial aid to those supporting newspapers threatened with “foreclosure.”  They have sought to redefine “protected speech” as being limited to “correct speech” and limit free speech on that basis.   They have attempted to force limitations on conservative radio programming under the pretense of the “fairness doctrine.”  And, they have pushed for a thing called “card check,” which is an effort to limit both opposition speech and the vote of those who oppose unionization of various industries and shops.   

Of course,  it the tables were turned,  these same people would whin and cry like 3rd graders,  along with the media that gives them their power.   They have done so,  before.
