Nanny Joe SOS
I posted the preceding before hearing about the kindergarten behavior of David (the center of his own universe) Gregory yesterday morning. What can I say. I've seen better behavior in pre-schoolers. Someone needs time out in the Naught Spot and Nanny Joe from Super Nanny should be on speed dial for the White House Press Corps. What a disgusting and embarrassing spectacle. The press in this country has become a joke and although the Right is frankly "happier than spit" there is still a huge problem.
Thomas Jefferson once wrote that between a free government and free press, he'd opt for the free press. It is essential to the maintenance of liberty to have a forum where the free flow of information and Ideas can exist. Where censorship of ideas is not allowed and people are encouraged to speak their minds. The MSM has become the dinosaur that is eating itself (they've gotten to the head) and internet sites have stepped into the vacuum. In the 1960's the Right had a strangle hold on the press, and this was not right. Today the same people who marched and protested about that strangle hold are the ones with their hand around the throat. Those who marched in favor of freedom of the press are now the ones standing in the way of it.
It seems that Pogo was right all those years ago. "We have met the enemy and they is us."
