Freedom of the press?

[Old-T]

Of course the GOP can do whatever they want. I can't see where it is in their best interest--unless they believe those networks will do them more harm than good in the coverage. But in that case, why wouldn't the GOP shut them out--Hillary film or not?

The reality is both parties LOVE freedom of speech when it shows them in a good light (or their opponents in a bad one), but find all sorts of excuses when they don't like "free" press being free.

Obama was wrong, and the GOP is wrong. I'm still waiting for the first poster on here to condemn BOTH for doing the same essential thing. If you don't think every president since JFK has seriously spun the press then you haven't been looking.

But I will admit that the REPs are being pretty high-handed about this one, and if I was a DEM sleaze-spinner I'd have a field day with it whether it goes through or not. A whole series of adds based upon how the GOP brass tried to intimidate and censor the press, how they are scared of the truth, how they want to go back to the era of back room political deals in secret. Politics isn't about truth and reality any more, it's about the better spin and half truths--and this one will come back to bite the REPs big time. Pretty dumb move.

Revisionism is not unique to the Right or the Left, CNN/CBS or Fox, the New York Times or the Washington Times. If one finds the perspective of one of the above unpalatable there is that remote control that allows an on/off option and also has a channel selector. If the GOP doesn't want CNN or CBS to air/host their events that's the decision of the GOP. This is not complicated.

Yea, it's easy for you to say. But CBJ started the thread. He's gagging on it. No DT control.

LOL. It was a stupid analogy. If you were an attorney arguing your OP and you tried to use this analogy about the sale of video games, you would be laughed out of the courtroom. But hey, your CBJ7, so carry on dumbass!

I have to agree!

You're a hypocritical moron, CBJ7. The GOP is not an entity of the state; so, how the hell is the GOP violating the Constitution, moron?

So you agree it was a stupid analogy. Thanks for clearing that up.

The GOP is not an entity of the state, CBJ7. It can pick and choose who is allowed access: just like Odumbo did last week when he denied admission to a group of College Republicans at the University of Central Missouri. By your reckoning, Odumbo violated their right to assemble under the First Amendment.

other than chest bump, the GOP hasn't done jack shit, presently they are guilty of nothing but stupidity.

just like the squeaky little bastards on this site, the GOP doesn't have any guts either

You're delusional if you think denying NBC access will hurt the GOP. NBC is nothing but a little watched pubic address system for the dimotards. So whether it's admitted or blocked, its reporting will be equally biased against the GOP.

You're a fucking moron if you think the GOP is a state entity that will be violating the First Amendment by excluding CNN and/or NBC, CBJ7.
