The freedom of the press was for anyone that could run or operate a printing press, write pamphlets, investigate. Citizens of all stripes were the press, your journals and blogs are equally part of the press, your opinions, and anything you should choose to write.<BR/><BR/>The objective was to prevent a government-sponsored 'press', which I can only argue that the current press corps is. It has its own agenda.Triedbyconsciencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103810935254467301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-38280718982602402862009-03-30T19:26:00.000-07:002009-03-30T19:26:00.000-07:00That may be David, but some folks have a better vi...That may be David, but some folks have a better view of the big picture-rather than a narrow one.

See Matthews. See George on ABC This Week. They see the real press as the voice of the rabble. You can see their contempt on their faces.Saman Mohammadihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901309111851547218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-75814122989951907702009-03-30T09:20:00.000-07:002009-03-30T09:20:00.000-07:00I worked on newspapers for 44 years.

City of Griffin, 303 U.S. 444 (1938), Chief Justice Hughes defined the press as, "every sort of publication which affords a vehicle of information and opinion."<BR/>This means that bloggers too, are press if they are disseminating information or opinion, which is what a blog is. So Rudowski's arrest is unlawful and there is legal precedence to support that position.bLaKouThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15288273235353976786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-63364617541368476482009-03-29T21:30:00.000-07:002009-03-29T21:30:00.000-07:00Execellent post.can't remember who said it but 'wh...Execellent post.can't remember who said it but 'when the autopsy is performed on democracy, 'the press'<BR/> would be listed under cause of death...PrissyPatriothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631831301034918405noreply@blogger.com
