He likes a "managed government" just like Obama.
This seems to be what the majority of people want these days.

I don't know why the press is so upset since they welcomed this 5 years ago.
Maybe it's the "give them an inch and they'll take a mile" ?

I say too bad to the MSM. You allowed this to start and now it's gaining momentum.
Reap what you sow and go read "1984" and see what you have allowed to happen.

Maybe this will produce a more honest and less biased MSM in the future?

Nope..they let this happen with Obama and it's caught on.
The press can complain all they want to the public but it's their doing to begin with that allowed it to start and gain momentum.

Once you give up something it's very hard to get it back.

Most of the people in this country probably would tell you 1984 was a year, not a book that forshadowed our future.

No suprise here! The lame MSM has allowed this to happen from the moment BO started running for POTUS. Now that MSM is under fire for their lack of credibility, they are finally attempting to report on what is actually happening, and the left is upset about that and trying to block them from information. I guess the lefties in charge assumed they would continue to be able to hide their dirty doings from the public forever. They made their beds......

He is a liberal, what did you expect? To a liberal, "Freedom" and "Liberty" are not universal rights to all citizens and should be conferred (at their discretion) by "enlightened" leaders (liberals).

Socialists tend to do this because they don't want the truth getting out.

No, this is why mainstream news is a dying breed. People are going to seek out the "reporter" willing to sneak in a camera to get the story.

If the media cared at all about it's long term future as opposed to it's short term politics they would refuse to cover anything as long as they can not cover everything.

Nothing the government does should be done completely behind closed doors.
