Freedom of the press is absolute and indispensable!

Except when it is inconvenient for Democrats.

2015 and 2007 Prez debates

ABC News’ Matthew Dowd said, “If media outlets give candidates veto power over moderators then our democracy is truly broken. Time for us all to take a stand.”

No, Matthew. The time for you journalists to take a stand was way back when major media outlets FIRST started acting like undeclared Democrat PACs instead of like the Fourth Estate that the Founders intended should keep our government honest and accountable.

    Republicans vs. The Media

    The political damage has been near incalculable. In 2012, Clinton and George Stephanopoulos singlehandedly redirected the presidential election narrative by asking Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney about banning contraceptives — a policy that no Republican had advocated at any point during the campaign. A few months later, CNN’s in-house Barack Obama serviceperson Candy Crowley won the second presidential debate by wrongly telling Romney that Obama had labeled Benghazi a terrorist attack.

    So why haven’t Republicans fought back? Because Republicans have had a collective action problem. For each Republican willing to label George Stephanopoulos a political hack, there’s a camera-loving John McCain willing to grant Stephanopoulos the premise of neutrality for a bit of airtime. For every Republican willing to ask CNBC moderators about their history of leftist questioning, there’s a John Kasich willing to praise the moderators as open-minded and fair.

      So far as I can tell from my internet feed, the candidates wisely ganged up, agreed to conditions that essentially say, “No more”, and shut up. The people I’ve heard talking about this are the MSM journalists trying to make like CNBC’s shabby performance didn’t actually happen, the candidates are just being whiney babies. Plus :oP“` the MSM is NOT biased, you big poopie heads, nyah nyah.
