61. Yes! "The press has special protections in democracies and for very good reason."

Such an important point, sabrina!

The founders knew there would always have to be a counterweight, a balance, to the power of the state. They were pretty brave about installing the freedom of the press in our founding document. It showed their sincerity about wanting to have a democracy. "If you can keep it," as Franklin so presciently warned.

David Gregory and his ilk want to join with the power of the state. Put their thumbs on the scale, you could say. Damn, no country should be one man, especially when our form of govt changes that man every four or eight years! Those who rail against the exposing of the state's abuse of power seem to feel they are defending Obama. That the expose is an attack on Obama. It is not. The USA is not a "L'etat c'est moi" form of government. The expose is of the burgeoning & overweening power of the state, of which we should all be frightened.
