    JFK in 1962: "There is a terrific disadvantage not having the abrasive quality of the press applied to you daily--to an administration, even though we never like it…There isn't any doubt that we could not do the job at all in a free society without a very, very active press."

        Active is good. Biased and agenda-driven, not so much.

        Members of the press should defend freedom of the press. If one reporter asking tough questions is told to get out, they should ALL leave...

        No, they shouldn't. They should all continue to ask tough questions. If they leave, nobody asks the tough questions.

        Like asking his physician if he’s really 6’3” bc it would effect his BMI? Can’t remember the press asking about Obama’s smoking habit.

        a non partisan press. We do not have that today. We have an agenda driven press. Not a press driven by fact and integrity.

        No issue with freedom of the press but with that comes a responsibility for accuracy and objectivity. Freedom of the press doesn’t shield them from criticism if they’re not.

        Trump hates free speech because he does not want to be a president, he dreams of being a dictator.

        Ok. what about a press, a network, that is so upset that a man they despise passed a physical exam performed by an exceptional doctor. So upset that they spend endless hours attacking the results, the doctor and basically spend hours predicting when the man they despise will die.

        That abrasiveness was nowhere to be found from 2009-2016. I don't remember President Obama complaining about a terrific disadvantage.

        We do not have a press, just a bunch of people trying to push a narrative. That goes for both sides of the aisle.
