    JFK said this today 1961, NYC: "Without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed….That is why our press was protected by the First Amendment-- the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution.”pic.twitter.com/Tzn4KgFLTC

        Criticism, yes. Lying and being in bed with one political party and trying to stop a legitimately elected president, no.

        Criticism is one thing but outright stories and inaccuracies from un-names sources is another. In addition, falsely obtained FISA warrants to ultimately put innocent people in jail and have DJT impeached are really over the top.

        Nothing wrong with criticizing the current administration but it doesn't help that you and your colleagues were cheerleaders for the last administration.

        And with the bullshit you all in the press keep pulling you are going to lose the 1st amendment and you will have earned it.

        Yeah, but that was when the press could be counted on to report truth and not give spin based on their emotions or ratings need of the day. It's not "press" any more. Right or wrong, it's the sound bite with the biggest bang!

        Absolutely correct. As a moderate, it is utterly infuriating that i have to fucking filter the "news" to get to what is important. Its also disparaging how disingenuous or stupid the majority of consumers are that are fine with the current state of affairs

        Unfortunately many in the press have forgotten the responsibility they have and now go for the notoriety of the Gotcha question and to be part of the story. Lost respect for the 4th estate. SAD

        There's a huge difference in Freedom of the Press to communicate the news, and in self-serving, hate-filled, agendas. . . Larry, I too have lost any respect (much less belief!) for most news agencies.
